Therapists in British Columbia

Online appointments available. My clients are introverts and highly sensitive souls that feel overwhelmed because the world is too fast, too noisy, too chaotic but worst of all filled with people lacking compassion. They usually struggle with non-reciprocal relationships and setting boundaries. It's not uncommon for my clients to be astonished at how someone has treated them or the general state of the world. They are filled with feelings of anxiety and worry about the fact that they can't keep up with everyone else. If you are reading this, I commend you on taking this first step. I work with women & members of the LGBTQ+ family.

I strive to help individuals and families deal effectively with their concerns, either from historical events and experiences or current issues and concerns. My experience extends to children, youth, adults and seniors, with a strong focus on assisting women.

“I see you,” were some of the most powerful words ever spoken to me, as it felt invaluable to be witnessed as my authentic self. This simple mantra is my goal when I meet clients, I want you to feel seen, understood and valued. I want you to have a genuine experience. I understand life can be filled with challenges, uncertainty, chaos, stress, and hopelessness, all of which can feel overwhelming and leave you feeling stuck and directionless. This is where I can support you. My approach is genuine, and often matter of fact, which may not always be conventional, but I pride myself on being real and honest.

NOW accepting new clients. With a focus on individuals, couples and families, I work with you to resolve overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, conflict, difficult behaviours, and trauma. Empowering you to feel a greater sense of well-being, fulfillment, and deep connection (with yourself and your people). Helping you achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like it takes too much energy to just get out of bed? Do you want to feel you have more control of your life? For the past 15 years I have supported Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth and adults with issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, sexuality, social struggles, and trauma related to residential schools. I am passionate about helping you overcome obstacles to the success in life that you want and deserve. I believe that healing is a holistic journey that takes all aspects of your life into account, and doesn't focus on only one part or symptom.

I am a Registered Psychologist and director of Wise Mind Centre, a Vancouver-based service that provides primarily cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to adolescents and adult clients and their loved ones. I work with clients who struggle with a variety of psychological problems, including anxiety, OCD, stress, depression, substance use, life transitions, parenting difficulties, self-harm behavior, suicidal ideations, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, emotion regulation difficulties, and borderline personality disorder. My service could be offered in both English and Chinese.

Change can be daunting so you stay 'stuck' in situations that no longer serve you. Maybe life feels 'comfortable' but you feel unfulfilled. You wear a mask to hide the anxiety or unhappiness you feel. The emotional pain is blocking you from connecting with those closest to you. It may seem there is no hope, so you continue living an unsatisfied life. Maybe you have learned to get through difficult times alone, but are ready to further explore yourself and the relationships in your life. You want change, and to feel whole again. You want to connect with yourself, and feel confident in who you are.

Each one of us is connected to others through relationships - the vitality of these bonds is crucial for our well being. Yet, relating to others may at times seem like trying to crack a secret code. Do you struggle to have your needs met? Your voice heard? Or maybe you just want to be better understood by others? I believe learning to get what you need from others and from life is a process that starts with ourselves. I will be with you as we challenge the obstacles and bring decisions into line with your values.

I am the owner and clinical director of Heartwood Family Wellness. I have been serving individuals with compassion and care for 10 years. I have established a strong reputation in the community and work with adults, children, youth, parents, and families. I help people with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, self-worth, family transitions, parenting skills, grief and loss, as well as school issues and ADHD. I am currently a child specialist for the Collaborative Family Law Association in Victoria, BC. I run a clinical counselling programs for mother's in all stages of motherhood called "Empowered Motherhood."

At the heart of every life struggle are blind spots and unconscious patterns that play out in our relationships with ourselves and others and in our attitude toward change. I believe that these crossroads offer an opportunity for self-empowerment and growth. With the right tools, strategies and perspective, you will be able to navigate healthy changes and evolve towards your happier and more fulfilling life. You may be feeling confused, stressed, frustrated, anxious, or even ashamed of what's going on for you right now. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're in a safe space here, and I'm here to help you work through it.

As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice.

No matter what you are struggling with, remember that on the other side of this difficult time will be increased wisdom, the exciting potential of a better you and more of what you want. We all have a survivor inside of us, an innate ability to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. Talking to someone can help you harness the strength that lives inside you. That is the essence of counselling.

We are all trying our best in our relationships. Unfortunately, sometimes our past or present experiences prevents us to be the best we can be for our selves and our loved ones. This is where I come in. I am passionate about helping families overcome variety of issues, including mental health, relational and parenting challenges, so you can create loving home. When working with couples, I assure each partner is heard, supported, and loved in the way they need it. I will explore with you what gets in a way of your goals and together, we will create a plan that is achievable and that will create a lasting change you are hoping for.

It's time to invest in your personal growth in a real way. You want to build more authentic relationships, face fears, and create real lasting change in your life. You are tired of repeating patterns that just don't fulfill you. You want more self-compassion and to live with greater integrity. You want to live with bravery, passion, joy and love. It's time to heal, strengthen, and grow through couples therapy or personal counseling. Let me help you move forward as your coach or therapist.

As a Registered Art Therapist and Counsellor I work with youth/adults who might be seeking a less traditional approach to healing. Perhaps we don't want to talk about it? It might feel more possible to come up alongside with marks or movement to explore, release and reframe in new ways. To be gentle and curious in our transformation.

Things are not how they used to be and you don't know how to move forward. There is a reason that you feel the way that you do, and you're not alone. Trauma has a way of making us feel "stuck", heightened anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, and navigating uncertainty can feel scary. I believe that we all have the capacity to experience healing when we are seen as we are in a trusting environment. My hope is that you not only develop a greater awareness within yourself, but that you truly feel heard, understood, and known.

I enjoy helping individuals, friends and family dyads work through conflict, grief, and attachment healing. I love this work and have a caring and present energy.
