Limited spaces available. We carry within us an image of our best selves: our lives, our relationships, our goals. But sometimes your thoughts, feelings, and actions paint a different picture, and they can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disappointed and unsure how to move yourself to where you want to be. As a counsellor, I can guide you through the process of connecting with yourself and building the tools you need to reach your goals.

I offer a compassionate, supportive space that invites you to deepen your understanding of yourself, your nervous system, your inner landscape and how you move about the world. In our work together, you are the expert on you and your lived experience. I will meet you where you are most comfortable.

One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

I believe that the quality of our relationships impacts the quality of our lives. We inherit things from our family of origins and have various things happen to us, but we can change our responses and focus on what we can control in our present day. We can recognize the experiences we are having and actively choose something different than what we know from past conditioning or patterns. If you are feeling stuck in some area of your life and want to explore that, I would be happy to hear from you.

Teens are naturally wired to look for and try new things. Sometimes trying new things and searching for independence can be a step towards helping teens find purpose in their life. I have been working with adolescents, teens, adults, and families for over 20 years. I began my career working in schools with many neurodiverse students, supporting them and helping their families advocate for the services they needed and overcoming the barriers that often stand in their way. From here I moved to the role of a guidance counsellor where I found my passion helping many preteens and teens overcome obstacles in their lives.
Teens are naturally wired to look for and try new things. Sometimes trying new things and searching for independence can be a step towards helping teens find purpose in their life. I have been working with adolescents, teens, adults, and families for over 20 years.

Wai-Han (慧娴) is my name. Wai: wisdom; Han: elegance. Born and raised in a shame-based culture, from a young age things were spoken over me that were the opposite of this, that I did not measure up to my name. I experienced the power of words- that they can speak life or death- for me evoking self-rejection. Through my journey toward healing, spoken words brought liberating life to me. Thus, I am passionate about speaking life into people’s lives, even while they struggle with depression, anxiety, or challenging relationships. I love seeing individuals find more internal freedom, and feel empowered & in control of their experiences.

My name is Recene Valgardson and I am an Indigenous mental health therapist. My goal is to provide a holistic, person-centered, anti-oppressive approach to counselling that is culturally safe and accessible. I believe that every person is the expert in their own lives, and I feel honored to be a part of their journey. In providing therapy my number one goal is to ensure folks feel validated and supported to allow for space for processing and healing.
