In Person Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I am drawn towards working with clients who are navigating major life changes, as these "turning points" can be both incredibly difficult yet rewarding. Changes in employment, relationship status, or the loss of a loved one can lead to feelings of grief, loss and tremendous anxiety about the future. It can be hard to feel confident moving forward when we feel something, or someone, is missing. Even when we are embracing a wanted change it can sometimes feel daunting and overwhelming to embark on something new.

We all desire to feel loved, understood, safe. Yet, each of us have our own distinct story – informed by identity, culture, and systemic context. My experience counselling students in the university setting, offering crisis intervention support, and food-based charity work in the Downtown Eastside have deepened my understanding of both the universality and the uniqueness of being human. I strive to create space for both the universal and unique aspects of your experience by developing a personalized approach that meets you where you are.

My client focus is working with neurodivergent people with conditions such as ADHD, Autism and Learning Disabilities. Although these differences can be an asset in many situations, individuals may have difficulty navigating a world not necessarily designed for them. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, and low self esteem may linger from years of feeling misunderstood or being under-equipped in social, school or work settings. Exploring your strengths, obstacles and goals allow you to take charge of your mental health and work with your difference rather than against it.

Do you feel like your anxiety rules your mind and you have no control? You may constantly battle racing thoughts, struggling to focus, and feeling restless about various aspects of your life. While striving for excellence and witnessing others' success, you're often left feeling anxious, inadequate, and behind. Even when you perform well and receive praise, you still doubt your achievements, feeling unworthy or as though there's more you should be doing. It is incredibly challenging for you to communicate your feelings and needs to others because you feel guilty asking for help and fear you may burden others. But there's a way out.

Hey you! I just want you to know that you have the right to be here, to express and talk about your emotions, and to become who you really are. Yes, in my previous career I too have been a victim of bullies at work. But it always stayed beneath the surface until I lost my beloved pets whom always given me strength, unconditional love and loyalty. I felt lonely, stuck and helpless. That's where I realized that I needed connect with my authentic self and learn to deal with the grief...and work on the emotional wounds bullies have left me with years ago.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. — Viktor Frankl. In my practice, I offer a supportive space where you can confront life’s fundamental questions—identity, freedom, responsibility, and the quest for meaning. These questions resonate deeply with our shared human experience, inviting us to explore not just who we are, but why we are. Our sessions will foster deep, reflective dialogue, helping you uncover your unique values, beliefs, and aspirations.

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when things aren't going well. It might be subtle signs that pop up at the end of the day. You feel like the day is going well and you’re keeping busy. But as soon as you have a moment of silence, your mind starts to cycle through things that you just don't want to think about. Do you find it hard to sit still and be at peace in these moments? Do you distract yourself as much as possible just so you don’t listen to your own thoughts? Maybe you have a hard time completing any of your important tasks? These are all normal reactions. Signals that your body is giving you to pay attention to.

One of my clients described the process of therapy "like finally turning the lights on in a room that had been dark." It takes courage to seek counselling. It means committing to letting ourselves see, feel, and start to heal what we are no longer willing to keep dark. The joy in my work comes from helping people 'turn the lights on,' and witnessing what happens when they do.
