Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I am passionate about advocating and providing for those who feel unseen in their battles against mental health conditions whether it is due to cultural stigmas or societal expectations. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand the courage it takes to overcome certain cultural/societal stigmas to receive therapy. This first step is tremendous, and I hope to help you on this journey by instilling hope and optimism in your story. I also aim to help you develop coping strategies and healthy habits, especially positive self-talk and self-affirmation, to prepare you to become self-sufficient.

I approach each session with the goal of creating a safe and inclusive space for all individuals. I believe in the importance of understanding and embracing diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. I am particularly passionate about working with the queer community, women, and those in traditional and non-traditional relationship arrangements. I am also motivated by helping clients achieve the right balance between work and life. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and understanding space for clients to explore their identities and experiences.

One of the most rewarding feelings in life is to feel a sense of ease and acceptance with who you are, despite your vulnerabilities. Like many others, it might be difficult for you to lean on others, yet you face challenges in managing your own emotions. You may feel disconnected from others or who you once were. I have been in the education system for 17 years and have extensive experience working with a variety of children, teens and parents struggling with difficult family dynamics, anxiety, depression, separation, divorce, trauma, major life transitions, and abuse.

I have over fifteen years experience as a helping professional, first as an Occupational Therapist and then as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals with a diverse range of issues such as adjusting to a new diagnosis (e.g. cancer), living with a chronic illness, grief, loss, anxiety, changes in mood, emotional dysregulation, and and changes in life roles. I also work with depression, anxiety and relationship issues.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC, with over a decade of experience specializing in youth, adolescent, and teen mental health, I am dedicated to helping you address your concerns and focus on what truly matters to you. Together, we can navigate through life's challenges on your terms and at your pace. I strive to establish a nurturing and non-judgemental therapeutic bond, fostering a safe environment for you to navigate the complexities of your life and enact meaningful, pragmatic changes. Whether you're grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use issues, or any other concerns,

I believe that creating a safe, appreciative, and collaborative atmosphere is paramount in therapy. I am passionate about helping people explore their authentic selves, connect with their inner strengths, and use these strengths to create the changes that they desire. I believe people can use strengths and resources to not only overcome obstacles, but also to continually push themselves to achieve their ambitions. I love helping people embrace a growth mindset, view setbacks as opportunities for growth, and continuously strive towards being their best selves.

Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Worried about your work or relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? Finding yourself avoiding or procrastinating on things that are important to you? Life is incredibly difficult at times, and we often feel alone in our suffering. You don't have to get through it on your own. In counselling, when we feel safe and understood, we can connect to our natural ability to heal and thrive. I work with my clients to help them to deeply explore and make sense of their struggles, uncover their inner wisdom and resilience, and become their best, most authentic selves.

I am an experienced educator and a passionate counsellor who believes in getting to know her clients and offering individualized support that best serves their needs with compassion and care.

I believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment for the clients to support their healing journey at their own pace.

Whether it is struggles with pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, relationships, anxiety, mood, or past trauma, I support individuals with identifying what they want to be different in their life and co-creating a plan for our work together. As a counsellor, it is a privilege to support clients in their journeys to find more joy, feel less overwhelmed by difficult emotions, improve relationships, and feel more compassion for themselves. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their values and how to foster these into a meaningful life.

I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, relationships and life transitions, infertility and pregnancy loss, relationship or marriage struggles. We, humans are born as WHOLE beings, we are worthy of love, we crave attachment, safety and connection. Sometimes we experience life events that may make us feel: stressed, angry, lonely, hurt, or unworthy of love. Having experienced trauma, infertility, loss and grief in my personal life, I know what it feels like to feel stuck, helpless, and worst of all, hopeless.

I work with individuals who are navigating various concerns, which may include anxiety, depression, experiences of trauma, life transitions, interrelationship issues, grief, and issues of identity. I use an integrated person-centered approach that supports clients in exploring their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, with emphasis on collaboration, safety, and intersectional feminist values. I have experience working with survivors of gender-based violence and through this work have learned the importance of creating safe spaces that foster trust and resiliency.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. As a Black and queer counsellor, I work to help those who are in need of a safe space to open up about difficult issues that they have faced in their life. I work from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens in order to create a safe environment for every client I work with. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ folks, BIPOC folks, and sex workers, and I welcome anyone outside of these communities to reach out as well.

I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy to individuals from a wide spectrum of cultural, socio-economic, ethnic, educational and other diversified (multicultural, multiracial and multiethnic) backgrounds. I work with adults, youth and families, experiencing difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, anger, substance use, trauma, emotional dysregulation and depression. I am EMDR and DBT trained and specialize in ADHD work with kids and teenagers and eating disorders. My practice is person-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, anti-oppressive and strength-based.

Navigating the twists and turns of life sometimes feels difficult and overwhelming. In those moments, I believe there is comfort in enlisting a counsellor to support you through life’s more challenging phases. I am a relationally centered counsellor who will meet you with warmth, understanding, and compassion. I draw from the theories of person-centered and emotion focused therapy, as well as focusing. With a trauma informed approach, I hope to support you in developing a stronger relationship with yourself. My RCC credentials are currently pending.

Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness.
