Transgender Therapists in North Vancouver, BC
As a Registered Counsellor and a Certified Trauma Professional , I am passionate about helping individuals who have experienced traumatic events and adverse childhood experiences. Trauma, abuse, neglect, and growing up with emotionally unavailable or emotionally immature caregivers can take a toll on our soul. Many of my clients bear the weight of these experiences, facing trauma-related symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and a pervasive feeling of numbness and emptiness. Many of my clients also feel exhausted by the constant negative patterns of thinking and behavior in their day to day lives.

Welcome! I support individuals and couples through a wide range of challenging issues and specialize in culturally-sensitive Trauma treatment. I have extensive training and experience working with adult survivors of childhood abuse, trauma (of physical, combat, emotional, and/or sexual nature) survivors, inter-generational trauma survivors, immigrants and individuals navigating various life transitions, and individuals suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Emotional regulation difficulties, Substance use problems, and/or PTSD. I also work closely with Indigenous communities and in the past I served on reserve as a clinician.

I combine evidence-based interventions to help you build a personal 'tool kit' to approach your mental health needs on a regular basis. Overall, my clients notice an increase in psychological resiliency; an increase in confidence and self-direction; and a decreased desire to please others in a way that they lose themselves in the process.

Your body and mind communicate clearly when something has been overwhelming. So many experiences can knock you off kilter and make it hard to feel your genuine self. You have likely landed here because your symptoms have become intrusive. Anxiety, panic attacks and anger are hard to ignore but what about the more subtle signs? Strained relationships, feeling numb, avoidance, disconnection and irritability also have a huge impact in your life.

My greatest joy is working with children, youth, and parents who need support, patience, and compassion. My clients often come for support with anxiety, depression, difficulties following divorce or separation, bullying, separation anxiety, trauma, grief, lack of motivation, social anxiety, gender identity, and sexuality. I work with clients using a mix of play therapy, art therapy and talk therapy. Through play, art, and talk, I help clients process their experiences, express their feelings, share their thoughts, change their narratives, create goals and learn new skills.
