At its core, my therapeutic approach is centered around collaboration, drawing from anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and client-centered frameworks, while highlighting the unique lived experiences each client holds.

Are your usual ways of dealing with things no longer working? Is it time to look at something that has been troubling you for a while? Perhaps you could use some help looking into your life to develop a deeper understanding of your journey. Carl Jung said, “Only what is really oneself has the power to heal.” Your challenges will be seen 'guideposts' that help us understand your life in a meaningful way. As a registered psychotherapist, my orientation is based in depth psychology and I am dedicated to helping you fully see yourself with compassionate eyes so that symptom and suffering can be transformed into wholeness and healing.

What do we do when life’s mysterious unfolding takes us to the very places we fear the most? There are moments when we realize that our old stories of who we are and where we belong in the world no longer fit what is beginning to emerge in us. Perhaps a major life event shakes things up, wrenching away the very ground beneath our feet. In other cases, it builds more slowly, as a soft but undeniable longing for things to be different. Sometimes it may be nothing more than a vague sense that something bigger, better and more aligned is out there waiting for us.

Counselling is a collaborative process of exploring the difficulties (stress, emotions, experiences) that the client brings forward in session. Counsellors promote change by helping the client to focus on the feelings, thoughts, behaviours, and experiences that are maintaining barriers to attaining goals. Counsellors are there to “do with” not “do for.” The client is the one that leads the way, while the counsellor acts as a guide or support. My goal is to help you find your voice and your path to being your favorite version of you!

For anyone looking for support with navigating a challenge or who feels a longing to realize more of life's potential, I believe that counselling can be tremendously helpful. I also believe this is true for a variety of challenges and goals, whether it’s navigating a mental health challenge like anxiety, depression or ADHD, or just wanting to live at your highest level. Through counselling I believe we enter a space where we can honestly explore our various thoughts and feelings, generate insights and evolve our wisdom and perspective.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 18 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

Hi there! My name is Kiana and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master's Degree in Counselling. As a young girl, I always found myself drawn to helping others. I struggled to feel confident and accepted by others at school, so I promised myself that when I grew up, I would orient my career towards supporting and comforting others. I take an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to therapy, meaning that I see hardships in life as being inevitable. By helping you discover your core life values, you can live a life that is positive and meaningful, despite having to navigate painful experiences.

The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.
