Adoption Therapists in White Rock, BC

I work with clients using a person-centred, compassionate and collaborative approach grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe our work together is not only established in the therapeutic relationship we create but in a safe space that provides a culture of feedback.

I am passionate about working with individuals, children, parents, and families. I enjoy working with children with special needs and I am drawn to working with children who have experienced loss or trauma, including fostering and adoption. I love helping parents feel equipped and empowered to connect with, and parent, their children. I also love seeing hurting relationships healed and restored with both adults & children. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where connection can flourish leading to change.

As an existential therapist, I work with issues around identity and life purpose. I believe that people are always in a state of becoming. New life stages or circumstances can throw us off balance and make us realize we have new work to do. These are not setbacks, they are part of the natural flow of life. Figuring out how to be human in this world is an ongoing process, full of big questions. I hope to offer a space for you to be seen, appreciated, and partnered with in your explorations of these questions.
