Stress Therapists in V3L

As you search for a counsellor you might look for counsellors with similar values. Here are mine: Goodness. I believe we are all striving to do the best we can with what we were given. Redemption. I believe we can all learn from mistakes. Connection. I believe being connected to others is healing from many past hurts and is protective against future stress. Equality. I am a feminist in that I believe in equal rights for people of all genders, races, sexual orientations. Authenticity. I strive to create a life I want to live. I would love to help you be who you really are.

My philosophy for counselling is rooted in finding connection in communities, safety from within, and discovery of what makes you feel passionate about a life worth living. I have always been a strong proponent for human development and diversity, and I'm curious by nature. Presently I work as an addictions counsellor, am an advocate for ending homelessness, and work with organizations to provide safety to our most vulnerable groups. Ive been to therapy, I struggled with addiction in the past... we all have had an adversity to overcome, and I can relate.

I am here to listen, support and provide help to manage your negative thoughts, anxiety, stress and depression in efforts to move closer to experiencing more joy, freedom, peace and self-love. Is your life feeling too overwhelming to manage on your own? Do you find yourself feeling stuck or repeating the same unwanted patterns in your life? Could you use some guidance and insight to provide relief and hope moving forward? Give yourself a safe space to be heard. In our therapy sessions together you can start taking steps towards your goals to ultimately discover your true and powerful self.

Do you struggle with anxiety, high stress or want more satisfying relationships? You might have noticed that the "roadmap of life" doesn't really apply these days, so you're navigating uncharted territory with your own compass and notebook. Personal strategies to manage stress, mood and relationship conflicts work well enough until they don't, which can pile on the stress... If you struggle with people pleasing, boundaries, communication, perfectionism or assertiveness and you want to build confidence, you're not alone.

It was through her own personal journey that Trish came to find her expertise as a Somatic Psychotherapist; helping individuals, couples and families step into balance, health and connection so that they can live in joy, vibrancy and passion! After full recovery from a skiing accident that had her in a wheel chair for months, she began to feel uptight all the time, depressed, had unhealthy eating patterns, an autoimmune diagnosis, and disconnect in her marriage. She had forgotten all about joy, vibrance & passion or how to even reach for those things. If you have ever experienced these feelings & lack connection, Trish can help.

If you feel stuck, drained, lost, numb, and find it difficult to feel joy and happiness; if you feel the tension that is constantly activated and stealing your energy away; and if you feel exhausted and unmotivated; there is a great chance that you carry some undigested and repressed emotions and experiences. If Trauma is left unattended, it could diminish the quality of life. If you feel that life handed you more than you can handle, it can be paralyzing.

I am a Jamaican living in Vancouver. As a recent immigrant, I am aware of how the process and experience of forging a new life can bring both satisfaction and distress especially in intimate relationships. Life transitions can cause emotional stress and often, we need help to tap into our own inherent strengths. Sexuality and sexual behaviours can also be challenging for some but, I am passionate about working with individuals and couples of all genders, orientations, races and ethnicities. I also specialize in addictions which I view as a maladaptive coping skill for traumatic situations.

IN-PERSON & Online Sessions: Going through a life transition isn't easy.
