Practice Information
Welcome. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a background in Speech-Language Pathology. I offer sessions both in Vancouver and on Bowen Island. As a counsellor, I aim to provide an ethical and compassionate space for folks to open up and explore their inner world. I support people who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use issues, low self-worth, and relationship challenges. I work with folks who are autistic and/or have ADHD, and I support people who are wanting to prepare for and process psychedelic experiences.
My approach is integrative with an emphasis on Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also have training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and enjoy weaving in Buddhist philosophies and practices. I work from a non-pathologizing, anti-oppressive, decolonizing lens and utilize neuro-divergent affirming practices.
I would love to work with you if you think we might be a good fit. I have struggled with anxiety and depression myself and understand that it can feel intimidating to open up to a new person. I am available for a 15-minute consult if you'd like to get to know me a little better. You are also welcome to check out my website (link on profile).
