Therapists in Port Coquitlam, BC

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

While life can be filled with joy, wonder and new experiences, it can also prove to be stressful, anxiety-provoking and incredibly challenging. These situations can impact our self-worth, mood, our relationships with our loved ones, and ability to move through the world. Through providing a safe, non-judgmental space I can help you process and heal from traumatic experiences, identify and build upon your strengths, develop a deeper connection with yourself and others, and live a more meaningful life. I use a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach to support you in reaching your goals.

Is life pushing you too hard? Do you feel like you can't keep up? Do you stay up late at night worrying? Do you feel drained emotionally and/or physically? Has your health taken a hit? Is your relationship more difficult than you want it to be? Is it tough to like your kids sometimes? Is your mind always racing with no brakes? Do you use more substances to find quiet and calm? Do you find you no longer enjoy doing the things you once enjoyed? Does it feel as if you are in a real life episode of "Survivor?" Then let me help you rediscover your sense of balance and passion in life!

Hello and Welcome! I am so glad you are here. My approach to counselling is all about connection, understanding, and re-connecting with the body. I prioritize forming authentic connections with my clients, establishing a secure and affirming environment where you can freely express yourself and arrive just as you are. My aim is to deeply attune and understand your inner world, providing support and guidance along the way. My goal is to alleviate the sense of aloneness amidst overwhelming emotions and provide a safe therapeutic haven to nurture healing and fortify resilience within your nervous system.

Life experiences can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, inadequate and even hopeless. At times we feel lost, as we struggle to navigate the pain and discomfort we are feeling and may be unsure of how to take steps forward. Counselling can be a place where we make space for the painful experiences of the past, our hopes for the future, and embracing all of who we are and hope to be. No matter what difficulty you are facing, there is hope in restoring what feels lost or broken and support for you as you process, heal, grow and find meaning.
