Crime Victim (CVAP / VQRP / IVAC) Therapists in West Vancouver, BC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, down or anxious? We all, at some stage in our lives, may face difficult situations and life challenges. It may be related to our relationships, conflicts with family members, loss of a loved one, adaptation, or illness. Facing these challenges may lead us to lose hope and focus on daily life tasks and routines. These feelings may lead us to think, nothing will ever change or get better, or there is no bright tomorrow in our future. What’s important is the way we view things and with whom we can share our most personal thoughts, feelings, and fears. I'm here to support you in a non-judgmental way.

Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively

Welcome! I specialize in supporting tweens, teens, and young adults of all genders. I am happy to work with adults too. To me, counseling begins with safety, empathy, and trust. Sometimes people need a non-judgmental ear, sometimes they need more specific approaches like EMDR, DBT, CBT, or coping skills. Either way, therapy is collaborative and customized to meet your unique needs, hopes, and goals. Challenges I specialize in include ADHD, FASD, trauma, anxiety, depression, child and teen-related issues, school and academic issues, communication, and the general complications that life can throw at us! I look forward to meeting.

Something feels different. Connection doesn't quite land. Relationships feel harder than they should. The sense of not belonging follows you, even in places that are meant to feel safe. Many who come here are capable and functioning, managing responsibilities with real competence. Beneath that, something far more complex. Experiences endured rather than processed. Violations of trust that altered how closeness is held. I work with teens and adults navigating complex trauma, C-PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, shame, and the lasting effects of relational wounding. You make complete sense. Even the parts that have never been understood.

We work with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or internally conflicted on the inside. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relational patterns, emotional reactivity or numbness, identity confusion, or the long-term effects of developmental or relational trauma.
Often, they’ve already tried to “think their way out” of their struggles. They understand themselves intellectually, but still feel stuck in their body, nervous system, or relationships. They may feel exhausted from holding it together, people-pleasing, or over-functioning.

I will probably laugh at your jokes. No, seriously! I think laughter is one of the most powerful ways we loosen the grip of fear and shame. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical to be effective. You can expect me to be warm, steady, and straightforward with you. The hours we spend together matter. This isn't just another conversation, it's intentional work. Real change happens when two people sit down, tell the truth, and aren't alone in it. We’ll call those patterns out when they show up in session (and they will), not to shame you, but to understand them. When we can see what’s happening in real time, we can adjust.

You are not broken—and you don’t need fixing. At your core, you are whole. But life, trauma, loss, stress, and relationships can make you feel fragmented or unaligned. With humility and reverence, my work is about helping you remember who you are beneath the layers: sovereign, worthy, and capable of living an authentic life. I work with adults navigating men's issues, life transitions, grief, disordered eating, relationship challenges, and childhood trauma. I also support individuals who feel burnt out, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Healing is not linear, but it is possible.
