Counselling
I provide counselling services to individuals and couples. I offer online sessions, as well as in-person appointments.
As a midwife since 2006, I have witnessed and helped families through the joys and heartaches of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. Through midwifery, I developed steadfast skills in listening, empathy, and advocacy. I was encouraged to shift from midwifery to counselling to be able to provide unwavering mental health, emotional support, and empowerment.
Within my counselling practice, I often work with clients who are somewhere along their reproductive or parenting journeys, but I also work with individuals and couples who are at other life stages, such as seeking meaning, change, healing, and finding balance or direction. In addition, I am a counsellor at pregnancy loss and pregnancy termination clinics in Vancouver, providing decision making guidance, as well as coping, healing, and trauma support.
For my clients, I commit to providing non-judgmental, empathetic support, and guidance. I like to explore how well-being is shaped by relationships, cultural values and beliefs, childhood experiences, physiology, and personality. I believe that understanding the positive intentions of our coping mechanisms (even if they cause trouble, confusion, or have overstayed their welcome!) is a key to building self-compassion, boundaries, and reduction of these uncomfortable symptoms. I look forward to helping clients through a variety of concerns. I am grateful to be a part of the healing and empowering processes for my clients. I hope to be seen as an ally to all cultures, orientations, and identities. I acknowledge that I reside and work on the stolen lands of Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.
I have completed my master’s degree in counselling psychology. As a registered clinical counsellor, I am covered by most extended health plans. I am an IFS-informed therapist, trained in the MotherCentric approach, as well as have great interest in somatic experiencing that is focused on reorienting the mind and the body. In addition, I am in the process of obtaining further certification through the Couples Institute in California.
