Depression Therapists in Vancouver, BC

I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in the treatment of disordered eating, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. If you are struggling with unhealthy behaviors (disordered eating, substance abuse), negative thoughts (hopelessness, worry), struggling with a major life transition (divorce, career change) or feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious, I can help you to minimize the impact of these issues, so that you feel better, improve your relationships, and increase your overall quality of life.

We all need support sometimes. Mental health counselling can be a therapeutic outlet to process difficult emotions, to reconnect with what brings fulfilment to our lives, and to shift our perspective towards self-compassion and kindness towards ourselves. I am excited to connect with individuals and couples seeking counselling services and aim to be adaptive to the needs of all those I work to support. My experience in providing mental health services focuses around managing anxiety and stress, supporting couples in building their connection together, exploring difficulties with depression and mood concerns, and supporting clients

My therapeutic approach draws heavily from my decade long background working in the helping profession supporting folks of diverse backgrounds with varying social and emotional needs.

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.

Hope gives people a reason to continue fighting and believing that their current circumstances will improve, despite the unpredictable nature of human existence. However, to feel hopeful can be tricky when you’ve experienced depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, and emotional pain. How do you go through those hard times? I have been privileged to support thousands of people of all backgrounds and ages to find their hope back despite life challenges.

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.

We are a team of dedicated clinicians with a variety of specializations, therapeutic modalities and various backgrounds, (both culturally and professionally) that we bring to each session. When you contact our clinic you will be greeted by our clinic coordinator Parmiss! Her priority and her passion is to connect you with the most appropriate team member, that fits not only with the treatment goals you have in mind but with your schedule as well.
