Every story unfolds in chapters.
One step at a time.
Individual counselling for adults in Vancouver, BC.
Welcome
Not every chapter unfolds the way you had planned. Counselling offers space to make sense of the one you're in and start shaping what comes next.
Your Story,
Heard Together
Life often brings us into chapters we didn't plan. Something shifts, but it's hard to name what comes next.
Before counselling, I worked as a lawyer, then a pastor, then in recovery centres in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Those years taught me that people don't change through pressure or quick fixes. They change through relationship, safety, and the slow work of being heard.
I walk alongside you as you make sense of what you're carrying. We start where you are and move at a pace that feels right. You don't need the right words or a clear plan to begin.
People come to counselling for many reasons. Sometimes the struggle has a clear name. Other times it is a quieter sense that the story you're living has become harder to carry.
Below are some common themes, but counselling isn't limited to these areas. Grief and loss, depression, relationship difficulties, identity questions, cultural adjustment, family conflict, and many other struggles have a place here too. If it matters to you, we can work with it.
Addiction and Recovery
Understanding substance use and compulsive patterns as ways of coping. Building steadier, more honest ways forward.
Burnout and Overwork
Making sense of exhaustion, pressure, and over-functioning. Rediscovering your limits and what makes life sustainable.
Faith, Doubt, and Disorientation
Exploring questions of faith, meaning, and identity when certainty has given way to doubt.
Anxiety and Shame
Working with worry, self-criticism, and shame. Developing a kinder relationship with yourself and your inner world.
Anger and Emotions
Making sense of anger, numbness, or overwhelm as signals rather than problems. Learning to relate to emotions without being ruled by them.
Life Transition and Identity Shifts
Navigating change, uncertainty, and transformation while finding your next chapter.
Working Together
We work collaboratively, at a pace that feels right for you. The focus isn't on quick fixes but on understanding what's happening and building sustainable change.
I believe change happens when we turn toward difficult emotions with curiosity rather than avoiding them. The parts of yourself you've been trying to quiet often carry important wisdom.
Fees and Logistics
Sessions are $150. Insurance receipts are provided for extended health benefits, and spaces at a reduced rate are available. Cost shouldn't be the barrier, so if you're ready to begin, we'll find a way to make it work. For more information, see here.
