My name is Veronica and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia. I hold a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP). In the past, I have worked directly with individuals experiencing a range of diverse issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma and sexuality-based issues. Most commonly, I witnessed many of those individuals feeling pain and suffering alone. Intimacy and sexuality can be difficult to discuss and can impact your mental health and well-being.

Hello!
I’m Bruna, a registered clinical counsellor assisting individuals in navigating the challenges of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression, among other concerns. As someone who also lives with chronic pain/illness, I understand firsthand the struggles that come with it. There are changes in relationships, navigating complex diagnoses and needing to adapt activities; it is not easy to go through all of that alone. In therapy, we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

You deserve support, even if you’re used to managing things on your own. If anxiety, depression, trauma, or exhaustion are taking over your days I’m here to help, you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and ready for something to shift. I’m here to listen but most importantly I will work with you to build tangible skills for coping. I specialize in therapeutic work related to trauma, significant difficulties (e.g., insomnia, nightmares), and anxiety (e.g., chronic worry, panic attacks, stress). I’ll meet you with warmth, compassion, and evidence-based tools to support.

It is possible to hold space for both the light and the darkness in life without feeling consumed. My goal is to create a safe and warm space for you to explore, unpack, and navigate your concerns. You are the expert in your lived experience and I hold important teachings from my education. I also understand that there are oppressive systems that impact our daily lives. I can help to unpack these systems and help empower you to find your potential and truth.

Welcome to a turning point in your life. I’m Alisa - RCC, CCC, and EMDR Trained Therapist. Here’s the truth. You don’t need to keep fighting alone. You don’t need to keep guessing what’s wrong. You don’t need to pretend you’re fine. Imagine this for a moment. You set the weight down. You stop apologizing for your struggles. You stop pushing your feelings aside just to get through the day. And for the first time in a long time, you feel safe enough to breathe. Inner peace isn’t a myth. Self-acceptance isn’t out of reach. And the strengths you forgot you had? They’re still there - waiting to be uncovered.

Hi! I'm glad you are here. Taking the first step toward counselling can feel overwhelming, and it's completely okay to feel uncertain.

I am humbled to work with adults experiencing trauma, LGBTQ+ related challenges, depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship challenges, and sexual health challenges, including compulsive sexual behaviours, sexual trauma, and erectile/ejaculation difficulties. Regardless of what led you here, many of my clients seek counselling as a result of being fed up with the way things are. Together we will work to uncover why you feel the way you do, develop tangible strategies to work with rather than against your emotions, and spend time expressing them in ways that will work for you long term.

I work with adults who feel frustration or even hopelessness, who are tired of experiencing their lives as one challenge after another. Physical and emotional pain, attention deficits, depression and/or anxiety do not define an individual. They are symptoms. My life experience, research and training, provides a safe, non-judgemental space to discuss strategies, remove obstacles and move forward with renewed energy and hope. The decision to find a counsellor is an example of readiness and courage. Please contact me for a free consultation.

I believe we all thrive when we have healthy connections. I believe this also to be the foundation of effective therapy. As such, building a healthy relationship is always my first goal when working with a new client. Just as we thrive with healthy connections, in my experience, challenging or confusing times tend to feel lonely and isolated. By providing a non-judgmental ear to listen, I am confident that we can alleviate that isolating feeling together. We can work through your life's stressors, determine the best ways to meet your individual needs, tap into your strengths, and fulfill your potential for joy, peace, and purpose.

If you experience chronic stress, fatigue & burnout, or if your past life experiences have you stuck in anxiety or shame-spirals that seems to have no "off" switch, then perhaps I can help. People are pattern makers and without awareness we often repeat patterns that no longer serve us, making us feel stuck. The good news is that we can make new patterns too. I help clients put their experiences in context with compassion and understanding. Together, we build awareness and skill that can empower new ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world, helping heal your relationship with yourself and the people in your life.

While life is often filled with new experiences, times of happiness and growth, it can also come with many challenges and emotions that can be difficult to manage. As a RCC, teacher and parent, I am passionate about working with children, youth, families, adults and couples to help you discover your strengths and stretches, and to uncover the process of healing. My goals are to listen, support, and establish a safe environment and therapeutic relationship so that you feel valued, encouraged, and seek solutions to help you navigate through your challenges.

You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Maybe you’ve been through experiences that still live in your body (tightness, anxiety, numbness) even after years of trying to “talk it through.” You may be navigating trauma, chronic stress, migration, illness, or systems that were never built with you in mind. You want more than coping strategies and you want to feel safer in your body, more present in your relationships, and less controlled by the past. I work especially well with adults who haven’t found relief in traditional talk therapy.
