Therapists in North Vancouver, BC

Are you experiencing self-doubt, feeling confused or stuck? Do you find relationships challenging or are you having a difficult time understanding yourself? Providing you with a safe, comfortable and inviting space in which to share your story and navigate your journey to self-discovery is my objective. Taking the time to build an authentic connection in which we can work together on the goals you wish to achieve is what I’m most passionate about.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and an associate at WellHealth Counselling. I primarily work with folks experiencing grief, life & cultural transitions, hopelessness, anxiety and relationship issues. I also help people work through caregiver burnout and adjust to life with chronic illness. Clients may come in with goals ranging from immediate symptom management to long-term emotional autonomy and I work towards meeting them at their starting point.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Art Therapist. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support, but I am here to help if you are seeking guidance, healing or change in your life. I believe that you have inner wisdom and that you are the expert in your life but I can help you uncover your unhelpful thinking patterns, understand and manage your emotions, befriend your nervous system, and increase your self-awareness. I can help you connect with your values, interests, needs, self-compassion, boundaries and courage so that you can be your true self and live a fulfilling life.

The benefits of my approach lie in using different techniques, tailored to the client's unique personality. Some clients like a directive approach, they want to be guided, to be given an almost 'engineering' model explaining our inner life; some prefer a non-directive, client-centered approach, where they would explore their inner landscape with the therapist as a co-traveler. All clients have relational needs which need to be addressed to, and the therapeutic relationship provides safety, validation, 'repaired' parenting, mutuality, client's self-definition and empowerment. Helping clients practice autonomy is my passion!

My work focuses on those who find themselves lost along their journey. Life can become stressful very quickly. You may feel like you've lost control, that you are stuck in repeating undesired patterns or you just haven't felt like yourself recently. These ups and downs make us human. It's in those down moments that things can begin feeling really dark. You may not be able to see the path forward, bringing up various emotions. Path Forward Counselling was created to help in these moments of distress. A masters level counsellor at Path Forward Counselling can see a path and help guide you along, even when it is hidden from you.

I miei clienti ideali affrontano sfide diverse, dai fattori stressanti quotidiani allo stress lavorativo fino a transizioni significative nella vita.

My primary work is to empower young adults and women who are experiencing burnout, trauma, anxiety & depression - particularly if you're a highly sensitive person, creative, empath and/or introvert. Our over-stimulating society can attract us to unhealthy behaviours & unhealthy relationships in order to feel like we belong. Talk and creative approaches to therapy are used which help ground the nervous system, allowing healing & peace to begin. When changes in life feel tough to navigate through, it is vital to have a compassionate & non-judgemental listener to help you feel connected, & find your place in the world- I can help.
