Counselling for adults
seeking clarity, care, and support
in Vancouver, BC.
Welcome
Counselling offers space to notice what matters, understand the story you are living, and begin shaping the chapters ahead.
This is a place to slow down and explore what this season of life may be asking of you.
Your Story,
Heard Together
Life often brings us into chapters we didn’t plan. Places where something has shifted, but it’s hard to name what comes next. My role is not to rush you toward answers, but to walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’re carrying.
You don’t need the right words or a clear plan to begin. We start where you are. Over time, we listen carefully to your story and notice what may be emerging — at a pace that feels respectful and human.
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.
You don’t need to see yourself perfectly in any one description below. They are simply themes. Here are some of the areas I most commonly support:
Addiction and Recovery
Exploring substance use, compulsive patterns, and recovery as ways of coping, while building steadier and more honest ways forward.
Burnout and Overwork
Making sense of exhaustion, pressure, and over-functioning, and rediscovering limits, meaning, and sustainable ways of living.
Faith, Doubt, and Disorientation
Exploring questions of faith, meaning, and identity in personal and spiritual life.
Anger and Emotions
Understanding anger, numbness, or overwhelm as signals, and 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.
Anxiety and Shame
Working with worry, self-criticism, and shame, and developing a kinder, steadier relationship with yourself and your inner world.
Working Together
Here is a brief sense of how counselling unfolds and what you can expect from our time together.
In short, my approach is:
Collaborative and paced, rather than directive
Curious about your story and inner experience
Focused on sustainable change rather than quick fixes
You won’t be told what to do or “fixed” in a single session. Together, we explore what you are living, notice patterns, and create space for change.
This work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not by avoiding pain, anger, or fear, but by engaging them with curiosity and care. Parts of ourselves that once protected us often carry both burden and wisdom. When they are met rather than avoided, new possibilities can emerge.
