Equitable Life of Canada Therapists in West Vancouver, BC
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

I know there are times when it feels as if you are sitting in a dark space, waiting for a glimpse of joy. You may be seeking it in your job, income, relationships, or a variety of other external sources; and yet, it seems unreachable. Growing up with several traumas and experiencing severe depression led me to seek my identity in a high profile title in society. As a lawyer with a Master’s degree, I was not happy. Then I faced the tragic loss of my beloved friend. This pain, shook my belief system: How could I live, despite life's difficulties? Life showed me that painful experiences will always open doors to new paths.

Maybe your relationship has started to feel more like work than a connection. Maybe you're in the middle of a life change you didn't plan for. Or maybe everything looks fine from the outside — but deep inside you know it isn't.

I provide transpersonal counselling psychology sessions for individuals, couples, and groups locally, internationally, in-person and online. I guide people to discover compassionate resolutions to their current concerns by integrating contemplative practices from the world's wisdom traditions with leading-edge psychotherapeutic approaches. Having witnessed firsthand the transformations of hundreds of people, I can attest to the capacity of the human soul to transform traumatic losses, transitions, or crises into a sense of greater peace, clarity, and personal agency, when met with presence, empathy, and unconditional acceptance.

My purpose and my passion is to help you fully remember who and what you truly are! The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.

You may be looking for therapy because something has become difficult to manage. It may be anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship conflict, pressure at work, grief, immigration-related stress, or feeling not quite yourself. Sometimes the problem is clear; sometimes it is harder to put into words. I focus on understanding what brings you here and what kind of help you need. My postdoctoral research at the University of Calgary on romantic relationships and conflict also informs my attention to close relationships and romantic bonds.

I work with teens, adults, and couples whose lives have been shaped by complex trauma, ADHD, anxiety, betrayal, and difficult relational or family patterns. They arrive often after other therapy touched behavior but never reached what organized it in the first place. Many are highly capable, yet carrying experiences that altered how safety, worth, trust, and belonging are held. My work is for people ready to understand how survival became personality, physiology, and relationship, and to change the pattern at the level where it was first organized, so steadiness becomes something felt in the body, not only understood in the mind.
