Parenting Therapists in Burnaby, BC

Welcome. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling Psychology. I whole-heartedly believe in the importance of having places and relationships where a person can feel heard, cared for and respected. My approach is eclectic, in that, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and collaborate with each person to learn about their unique hopes and needs. I am dedicated to holding a friendly and inclusive space where individuals feel safe to be themselves. I provide client-centered counselling to adults (19 and older) from a neurodiversity affirming and anti-oppressive perspective.

Do you feel overwhelmed, alone, debilitated, or without meaning or purpose? Sometimes the adversities we face in our lives become too challenging and hinder us from living the life we desire. My integrative approach is tailored to each unique individual, given, we all have a fundamental need to feel validated, heard and connected. I offer an empathetic and non-judgemental, safe therapeutic climate that focusses on genuineness, empowerment, and collaborative work. I strive to support individuals overcome the complexities of their lives and cultivate growth through evidence-based modalities - bringing the unconscious to the conscious.

Do you feel a lack of emotional and physical intimacy in your relationship with your partner? Are you getting pulled into the same argument over and over again? Do you find yourself thinking or saying “They don’t ever spend time with me,” “They never hug me anymore,” or “I don’t talk to them because I’m scared of their response?” Do these experiences leave you feeling like you don’t matter, your partner doesn’t care, or you’re not good enough? Maybe these feelings have been years in the making or perhaps there was a breach of trust that changed the trajectory of your relationship. If so, you’re in the right place.

Do you feel stuck and disconnected? I support individuals and couples in addressing their well-being and feel more connected. With empathy, compassion, and deep understanding, I hope to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As we are all social animals who need to be seen and heard in our relationships; we can only feel complete when we have authentic connections.

I have been a mental health counsellor/therapist for over 25 years. In my experience, two very important factors in therapy are trust and safety. I believe trust is earned by the therapist and safety is experienced by the client as therapy progresses. What I have learned from my clients is that even when they experienced hopelessness at first, change was possible, and when there was change, no matter how small, they felt hopeful. My aim is to support clients and help them identify and achieve their short and long term goals, at school, at work, in their family and private lives.

Are you seeking emotional support, coping strategies, communication skills, self-exploration, or professional insights to address anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or significant life transitions? My goal is to work with you collaboratively to navigate these changes with resilience. I strive to create a safe space where you can be yourself and express your thoughts and emotions freely. I believe it is possible to achieve mental and emotional stability, understand the impact of your issues on daily life, and feel supported and empowered to make positive changes.

Are you struggling to let go of lingering hurt, anger, shame, or guilt related to your past? Do you feel unworthy, not enough, or have difficulty trusting others? Do you lack a sense of meaning and purpose in your life or feel alone in your relationship with your partner? Are you and your partner caught in hurtful patterns of communication? Whether you come alone or with a partner, I help people work through difficult emotions, improve communication and boundaries, and feel more connected and at peace in their lives. I also help teens struggling with issues related to identity, confidence, mood, and relationships.

I have developed a holistic and person-centred approach to therapy that integrates evidence-based, strength-based, mindfulness, and somatic-based practices. This approach best equips me to meet your specific concerns and needs. To me, therapy is a space where we can explore, discover, and tackle distressing thoughts, feelings, or behaviours that may be holding you back.

Passionate about working with children, youth, young adults, and families experiencing anxiety and depression, struggling to create stability, self-control and self-awareness. Individuals who experience cultural segregation, bias and stigma learn to overcome silence and implement action and advocacy skills. With the mindset of acceptance, trauma informed lens will target distressing negative thoughts, feelings, behaviours and reactions by adjusting ones relationship with those experiences and develop proactive and healthy coping tools; living a life full of clarity and genuineness.

Too often I hear stories of people struggling in silence, battling inner thoughts and not knowing what to do with them. Shrouded in fear and shame, they do their best to navigate their daily lives hoping things will get better, but sometimes the struggle continues. Seeing a counsellor can help ease this burden. Whether it's about relationships, careers, family or personal challenges, talking to a trusted counsellor can be the start of offloading these troubling thoughts and allowing space for clarity, growth and direction.

Life can be difficult and it takes resilience to work through challenging experiences. Part of your resilience may include reaching out for support. Psychotherapy can help facilitate new perspectives about the challenges we face and our ability to navigate unsettling life events and emotional states. It can support our capacity to make sense of suffering with increased compassion and acceptance and, ultimately, live with more ease and joy.

I believe that each person has the ability to improve their life; to become closer to who they want to be. No problem is too difficult to face with the right kind of support. Many people are suffering on their own or feeling stuck in patterns that keep them from having the life they want. Counselling can change this.
