Parenting Therapists in Burnaby, BC

Whether it is struggles with pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, relationships, anxiety, mood, or past trauma, I support individuals with identifying what they want to be different in their life and co-creating a plan for our work together. As a counsellor, it is a privilege to support clients in their journeys to find more joy, feel less overwhelmed by difficult emotions, improve relationships, and feel more compassion for themselves. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their values and how to foster these into a meaningful life.

My ideal client is struggling with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias or depression. They may have someone in their life who creates a lot of drama for everyone. They want to find more peace, satisfaction and happiness in their lives. Their goal is to learn how to deal with lives that are too busy and overwhelming, to stop worrying, to be less perfectionistic and irritable, to be more assertive, to find joy in life, or to decide on a career or a move. They want tools for managing anxiety and depression so that they don't have to stay stuck. They want relationship tools.

Are you like many people, struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, feeling down and not sure how to turn things around? It’s very common to feel all of these things.

Can you turn it around? Absolutely you can. While the way that I work with my families and my adult clients differs in ways, the core of it is the same, I remind you that you are loved, I teach you to love yourself, help you balance self-love and love for others in healthy and empowering ways.

Hello! My name is Euphemia and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MEd) from UBC. I also hold a Bachelor of Education (BEd) from UBC and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Emily Carr. I was born and raised in Vancouver, but spent many years in the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island. Before entering the counselling profession I spent a decade working as an art teacher. I consider myself a person-centered teacher and counsellor, viewing everyone I work with as a unique individual, holding them in unconditional positive regard.

I believe that every client is innately aware where they need to go (in therapy) to heal themselves. My role is to use my skills to help them along in that process. I meet clients where they are at recognizing that may change from session to session. We start with their goal(s) for counselling and work from there. I don't "need" to know anything in particular before we start. I find that with a trusting relationship, a client will share all that is relevant in order to attain their goal(s).

Going through separation and divorce is a rough process. The yelling, the tears or the fights that happen in the house is keeping you up at night and/or make you worry about your future. It is already difficult to discuss what belongs to who at this point, not to mention there are children involved. You want your children to be ok, but not sure how. Things that your partner said or did in the past seem to be stuck in your head and make you angry or sad. You want peace, you want no conflict and a way out of this emotional disaster. Talk to me, I am here to listen.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, or feel stuck in unresolved feelings from your past that affect your relationships, work, or how you feel about yourself?
