Somatic Therapists in Vancouver, BC
If you have been feeling distant from your partner or finding that your conflicts go around in circles, I am the right therapist for you. Regardless of the specific issue, I find that one thing can often be missing—a close connection, a secure attachment, or sometimes it’s that “spark” that brought them together initially. Through communication and other skills, I support couples in rebuilding that connection. Once this foundation is established, the couples often share that they feel softer and more endearing toward each other, naturally becoming more open to exploring new ways to solve the old issues.

Therapy can be helpful as short term and solution oriented support. It can offer tools to cope with difficult times. When done right, therapy is where you learn how to be on your own side. Where you learn to stop living life in 'hard mode' and find relief from rigid thinking or beliefs that have held you back. Any thoughts or actions that have lead to anxiety, low mood or feeling stuck. When done right therapy is a combination of a place you feel supported as well as gently challenged to grow. I hope therapy is where you are empowered to make small and big changes that move you towards more authenticity, flexibility and joy.

My purpose and my passion is to help you fully remember who and what you truly are! The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.

There are times of transition in women's lives that can leave us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or disconnected. The greatest area of growth the women I work with experience is the ability to transform these periods of transition into possibility. Transitions can be uncomfortable, yet they are inevitable rites of passage and necessary to your growth and expansion as a human being. The good news is that by moving through them mindfully, new choices and options are unveiled, allowing you to create the life that you are most deeply yearning for. The question is, what will you choose?

I grew up in a culture where mental health was not given a priority and there was, and still is, a lot of stigma surrounding it. My passion for counselling came from wanting to give people a space to feel heard, understood and heal; to provide a space for safety, connection, appreciation, understanding and growth. I work with a wide range of populations and concerns, and welcome all who need a space to heal.

I use a trauma-informed, culture-infused, queer- and neurodivergent-affirming framework to individually tailor counselling to the needs of my clients. My approach is client-centred, strengths-based, and integrates components of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and self-compassion.

I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma (gender-based, workplace, systems, healthcare, and/or sexual trauma) as well as queer, trans, and/or gender diverse folks.
