Therapists in North Vancouver, BC
I specialize in relationship counselling for individuals and couples. Clients often come to me for support with building trust, navigating the transition to parenthood, dealing with relationship anxiety, coping with low intimacy or desire, healing from a relationship ending, and building healthy communication. Our relationships are important to us, and it can be distressing when we feel disconnected from our partner or anxious about maintaining a healthy relationship. My passion is helping clients understand how they show up in relationships and feel capable of making real change.

Welcome! Whilst it's really hard to be with our suffering when it arises, the fact that it has come to our awareness indicates that it's a good time to explore it with support. We don't have to bear the burden of our unhappiness, stress and confusion alone. It can be wonderfully reorienting when our personal experience is deeply heard, held and respected, with skill and open-heartedness. Often helping us find fresh perspective on the way forward. This is the gift we offer ourselves, when we take the time to engage in healthy therapeutic relationship. My work has been a joy to me and I would be delighted to hear from you.

Do you want to feel better about yourself and your life? Are your frustrated with how you show up in relationships, work, life balance? Have you tried other therapy before, and you are still here, looking for a life that you love? Knowing something will make little difference when our bodies are convinced otherwise. This is why I primarily work somatically. When you have a new experience of yourself, in your body, in a way you may not have known was possible before, this will lead to lasting impact on how you function in this world.

When we find ourselves always struggling with unwanted thoughts and emotions, it can start to feel like we are trapped in a never-ending battle with ourselves. Intense emotions and persistent thoughts can take us on an unpleasant ride, leaving us exhausted and unable to attend to things that matter to us. We become critical of ourselves for not being "good enough", further isolating us from ourselves and others. In our therapy, you will be offered the space to explore and learn about the kind of life you want to live and how to use your strengths and resources to build that life.

No one is broken, I am not going to ‘fix’ you but I can help you understand your obstacles. I am a very good listener and I work with my clients to create good habits, to understand themselves, to adjust their perspective on life. I work with my clients to have better awareness of where they are and together we identify small changes to help tackle bigger issues. We find ways to shift thinking to help with life’s challenges. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, family dynamics, domestic abuse—both physical and mental as well as depression. I would welcome a conversation with you to see if we would be a good fit.

Therapy can be an opportunity to bring awareness to your unconscious patterns, to discover where you have choice and to connect to your authentic self. Therapy is one way you turn towards yourself, this can be challenging when we’ve spent a life time turning away. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path.

I specialize in supporting Neurodivergent young people aged 17+ and adults, and have a particular interest in helping Neurodivergent individuals navigate experiences including late diagnosis, emotional regulation, executive function, masking, sensory stimulation, overwhelm, burnout, and complex trauma (CPTSD).
