Person-Centered Therapists in V1L

Honouring the unique context of peoples’ experiences, I support people on their transformational path through anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, loss, loneliness, depression, healing trauma & creating resilience. My focus is to create a safe, warm, inclusive atmosphere where the fear & shame that often hold us back from healing can soften through an experience of compassionate acceptance & deeply attuned therapeutic support.

Are you ready to take that next step towards creating your desired life? One free from the confines of anxiety, self-doubt and emptiness?

I hold a deep trust in the healing power of connection with the natural world, and believe that each individual is born with an innate drive and capacity towards wholeness and health.

I work from a strength-based, trauma-informed, person-centered, and body-focused approach.
I wear many hats and consider myself a forever learner. I am an integrative therapist who uses Ayurveda, yoga, and body-focused psychotherapy techniques to support healing. I am dedicated to these practices as they provide me with the groundedness and centeredness to show up with an open-hearted, embodied, and compassionate presence. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, cooking using whole foods, being in nature, and creating through artistic endeavours. I would say I am playful, and eccentric, with a good sense of humour. I look forward to connecting with you on your healing journey!

You are a busy person. Holding it all together for everyone around you. You may have a demanding job, kids at various stages of growth, a spouse, a car, a home, and maybe even fit in time to stay active, and get together with friends or maybe you lost your job, are retired, or your kids have left home. Midlife can be a time when you feel that something is missing, there is something more, or you just start to question what it is all for. What is the meaning of all of this? I know. I have been there. It would be my honor and privilege to walk with and support you as you start to unravel the many challenges of mid-life. Your not alone

Do you have the sense that there is underlying pain that is preventing you from fully enjoying your life? Often, our unhelpful patterns originally evolved as strategies to meet needs, and to protect ourselves against overwhelming distress. My work aims to help you more effectively meet the needs behind these old, perhaps outdated strategies. Some of the issues that clients come to me for help with are: personal growth and alignment with life purpose; emotional regulation; emotional intimacy; anxiety and panic attacks; self-worth; and grief and loss (personal and collective).

I believe counselling can be a space where we can get to know our authentic selves, where many parts of ourselves can be explored and we can start to resist the boxes that may be confining us. I view counselling as a collaborative process and recognize each person’s natural ability to gravitate toward change at their own pace. The genuine connection of a counselling relationship in a safe enough and inclusive environment is often at the root of healing.

Perhaps something wounding in your history has fractured your wholeness and you feel overwhelmed and less connected to your core. There may be a part of you that feels conflicted, and challenges in life may feel like too much. Maybe the ever-evolving, and unique-expression of life that you are, is not feeling supported in its development. Having self-governance and allowing the unique-expression of life emerge through us is a birthright of humanity. You can be connected with your core, essence and inner guidance system that leads the way to your healing.

My adult male clients are men from Mars; they are dealing with marriage or relationship challenges at the same time as their work life is increasingly a challenge. My Neuro atypical clients need help navigating the conflict s between their hyper focused interests and their relationships with people that do not understand them at all well. Anxiety control is always an issue with many clients ; emotional regulation with somatic or attentional treatments of mood is a specialty for me. My married couples are trying to build excitement and connection back into their adult lives.

My passion and specialty is to serve individuals ready to work through concerns related to anxiety, shame, and identity. If you are struggling with anxiety and fear, thoughts of not being good enough, judgmental and negative self-talk, or finding it hard to live in a way that reflects your most authentic self – you have come to a compassionate place. I have known these struggles too and how they can feel like a mental prison. Living courageously despite fear, relating to yourself like someone you love, and feeling free to fully live who you truly are, IS possible.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). Although life can seem busy and chaotic at times, our time together is an opportunity to slow down, become clear, and find ways to resolve current concerns or issues from the past that interfere with living fully in the present. Your health, wellness, and goals come first. I work with individuals struggling with a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, burnout, trauma injuries, developmental stages, problematic eating, relationship issues, as well as life transitions and grief.

All the things that make us feel alone, connect us. At our very human core, we crave real connection over the one thing we all have in common...living! With all that encompasses life: the harsh realities, the moments of joy, grief, fear, confusion, laughter. In our therapeutic relationship, I want to provide you with the freedom and space to be exactly who you are, because within that acceptance of self, your awareness increases, you see things more clearly, and you can cultivate deeper connection to others. Together we can work through inevitable blindspots and life's challenges, continuing to grow the life you want to live.
