My therapeutic passions align with my lived experiences and education around attachment, relationships, sex/sexuality, and grief. I know first hand that how our brains and bodies process the world affects how we explore and execute attachment. Knowing ourselves thoroughly can help us build meaningful relationships that connect us to our community. I do this work because I enjoy hearing each person share their unique story, which highlights how they experience connection and growth. I love sharing tools to support a regulated nervous system, connect you with your values, and help you live in a way that honors those values.

No longer seeing in-person clients in Langley. "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Whether you have tried many therapists, or have never been to therapy, I am comfortable working with people who are skeptical about the counselling process. I bring a trauma-informed lens to counselling to help you work through tricky moments from the past and present that we may or may not be entirely aware of. I have a person-centred approach, which means that I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace.

I use several somatic (body-centered) therapy methods to support those I work with. Specifically, I use mindfulness methods to create grounding in the body, and Focused-Oriented Therapy and Movement Therapy methods to explore all the places wisdom might be stored in the body. Body-centered therapy can be helpful when it feels like talking has not brought about change, we've created stories we can't seem to break from, or there's something more we have not been able to access. I'm interested in supporting people to access the body's wisdom, which our minds may not be aware of, by building bridges from our bodies to our consciousness.

Hi! I am Cecilia and I love to work with people that I can cultivate meaningful and supportive relationships with. I have a passion for supporting children, teens, and adults with neurodiversities, and seniors. As an immigrant, I have a deep compassion for new immigrants who are looking for support adapting to life in Canada. My upbringing in a family marked by the complexities of divorce deeply influenced me to seek therapy herself. This personal experience made me acutely aware of the impact of life transitions on individuals, fostering a profound understanding of the anxieties and uncertainties that accompany changes.

Transgender Counsellors
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognise a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognise a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
