Therapists in V5T
You’re doing your best to hold it all together—but it’s exhausting, and it’s okay to want support. In my practice, I offer in-person and online counselling for people who are often the dependable ones, the peacekeepers, the perfectionists—those who look like they’ve got it all together but feel overwhelmed and stuck inside.Maybe you’re a busy parent trying to keep up with endless to-dos, barely finding a moment to breathe. Or a professional who’s always on the go, struggling to unwind at the end of the day. Perhaps you travel often or live far from your support network—or maybe you simply want the comfort of talking from home.

As a relationship and individual sex therapist my purpose is to help you and your partner(s) rebuild connection. If you have low sexual desire in your relationship, are feeling torn about recent infidelity to stay together, or you need tools for effective communication, its likely you are questioning whether to stay together. In my approach, I believe you deserve to experience love making, to seek to deepen your lost connections using the courage and vulnerability you bring into session. There is a space opened for you here to explore your new found sense of meaning and growth through boundaries both with yourself and partner(s).

It takes courage to seek and begin therapy, and I value and respect that. I am passionate about working with all people, however they choose to identify themselves. I work with adults, young to old. I consider each individual as a "world unto themself"; I work with your goals, your spark, your way. My goal is to help you find the tools to move towards what you most want. I'm on your side. I draw from therapies such as solution focused, trauma based, CBT and ACT. Possibility lies in the present - what we do, how we choose to act, alone and with others - this is the arena of change.

Relationships issues, life transitions, and grief, are topics especially close to my heart. Together, we can clarify your values and what you're looking for in a partner, address communication barriers and re-establish connection in your relationships, use insight and compassion to disrupt patterns that may no longer be serving you, or help you come to terms with a devastating heartbreak. We can access your strengths to help you embark on exciting new life chapters that might feel overwhelming at first, such as starting college/university, a new career, getting married, entering parenthood, adjusting to retirement or an empty nest.

Sometimes life leaves us feeling like strangers to ourselves; smiling through the hard parts, showing up for everyone else while quietly fading, or simply feeling like life is moving on without you.
You don't have to face that alone. Our work together will be guided by your story and your pace. At the heart of it all, I hope this experience brings you back to the quiet strength and knowing that have always been within you.

I work with people facing challenge in their lives, new or old. Anxiety or fear may have narrowed your world. Self-doubt may have grown louder, quietly shaping your choices. You might be pouring energy into your relationships, but feel undernourished by them. You may be exhausted from carrying too much for too long, or be puzzled by a heaviness that settled in without a clear cause. Things may even look steady on the outside while something inside isn’t settled. Much of my work centres around these issues and how your unique experiences, past and present, play a role.

My career in the realm of psychotherapy started with a few goals which are now the roots of my practice: I want clients to feel safe getting vulnerable. I want you to have freedom navigating complex & highly emotional situations, in a non- judgemental space. I want to help you find strength, humour and resiliency, even in the most uncertain of times. In the very least, we'll have a good chat and maybe you leave with a different perspective. I have developed a skillset for tackling tough issues around stress, trauma and attachment, relationships, anger, anxiety, depression and substance use.

Welcome to my practice. I am based in Vancouver and work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. In collaboration with clients, I aim to foster an increasing awareness of what has happened till now to bring you to this point; to normalize feelings and experiences, especially those relating to trauma; and to facilitate a connection to your inner knowing. I believe that in the uncomfortable parts of life, the challenges and the chaos, we can learn to maintain healthy connections within ourselves and with our loved ones and community.

I work with people who carry responsibility deeply such as first responders, veterans, parents, creatives, and caregivers - often the ones others depend on. Beneath the surface, there’s often grief, burnout, disconnection, or a harsh inner critic that won’t ease up. My work supports people in making space for themselves again: emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, ADHD, parenting challenges, or looking into psychedelic integration, I offer a grounded approach to help you reconnect with yourself, explore the roots of what’s going on, and move toward more clarity, connection, and ease.

I support those navigating the challenges of living in a world not designed with them in mind. If you are a person of colour, queer or trans, an immigrant or the child of one, neurodivergent — or all of the above — I know that your experiences of mental and emotional health are often inseparable from these realities. I also know that any effective therapy must hold space for that, without letting it define the fullness of your story. This understanding is at the heart of how I work.

Hi there,
I support individuals navigating life transitions, self-esteem, burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic health struggles, and relational trauma. I work with many folks who are exploring or coming to understand their neurodivergence later in life, including the impacts of masking, burnout, and identity shifts that can come with this realization.
I offer an LGBTQ2S+ affirming space where we can hold the heavy things and welcome moments of levity, honouring your pace while gently moving toward growth, healing, and deeper self-understanding.
