Individual Counselling in Downtown Vancouver & Online Across BC
Counselling can offer a place to slow down, understand what has been weighing on you, and explore changes that feel meaningful and realistic for your life.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, burnout, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, relationship challenges, identity concerns, boundaries, and periods when their usual ways of coping no longer feel enough. I offer in-person counselling from my Downtown Vancouver office near Gastown and Waterfront Station, as well as online counselling throughout British Columbia.
Counselling can help you better understand your experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
You Do Not Need to Fit Into a Counselling Formula
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
You arrive with your own history, experiences, identities, relationships, strengths, and reasons for seeking support. I begin by trying to understand what is happening for you rather than assuming there is one correct way to feel, respond, or move forward. My role is not to tell you who you are or what decision you should make. Instead, I work alongside you to explore emotions, patterns, relationships, expectations, and experiences while building practical ways of responding to what feels difficult. Together, we can move at a pace that feels respectful, manageable, and aligned with your needs.
-
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, replaying conversations, preparing for every possible outcome, difficulty relaxing, physical tension, panic, perfectionism, or constantly questioning whether you made the right decision.
I can help you understand what may be keeping these patterns active and explore different ways of responding to worry, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm.
Counselling can help you understand what keeps these patterns active and develop a different relationship with worry and uncertainty.
-
Change can be difficult even when it is something you wanted.
Career changes, relationships, family transitions, grief, identity shifts, migration, caregiving, becoming a parent, or simply realizing that your life no longer feels the way you expected can bring anxiety and uncertainty.
I can offer space to process what is changing, understand what you may be grieving, reconnect with what matters to you, and find your footing when the next step feels unclear.
-
Loss can involve much more than bereavement. Relationships ending, changes in health, identity, family roles, community, culture, career, or the future you imagined can all carry grief.
Counselling can offer space to process what has changed without expecting you to move through grief according to someone else's timeline.
-
Relationships can bring up questions about boundaries, communication, responsibility, family expectations, conflict, cultural expectations, or the fear of disappointing other people.
You may find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, taking responsibility for other people's emotions, avoiding difficult conversations, or wondering whether your own needs are reasonable.
Counselling can help you explore these patterns with greater curiosity and develop ways of communicating and setting boundaries that feel more connected to your values.
-
Identity, culture, migration, belonging, family expectations, discrimination, and experiences of moving between different communities can shape how you understand yourself and how you experience stress.
My approach considers the broader systems and contexts around your experiences rather than treating emotional well-being as something that exists separately from the rest of your life.
-
Trauma-informed counselling recognizes that healing happens at your own pace. You do not need to share everything immediately, and therapy should never feel rushed or overwhelming.
My approach prioritizes safety, collaboration, and choice. Together, we can explore what feels important while respecting your boundaries, readiness, and capacity.
If anxiety is affecting your sleep, relationships, confidence, concentration, or ability to feel present, counselling can help you better understand what is happening and develop strategies that feel realistic and sustainable.
I support adults experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, self-criticism, people-pleasing, stress, and the pressure to hold everything together.
Anxiety Counselling in Vancouver
Online Counselling in BC
I offer secure online counselling for adults throughout British Columbia.
Online counselling can be a helpful option if you live outside Vancouver, have a busy schedule, manage caregiving or mobility needs, or simply feel more comfortable attending counselling from your own private space.
I bring the same collaborative, trauma-informed and personalized approach to online sessions that I bring to my in-person work.
My Counselling Approach
My counselling approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and grounded in respect for your unique experiences and strengths
Depending on your needs and goals, our work together may incorporate elements of:
Strengths-Based Counselling
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Mindful Self-Compassion
Narrative Therapy
Anti-Oppressive Practice
Intersectional Feminist Practice
Trauma-Informed Care
Rather than following a rigid formula, I draw from these approaches in ways that feel relevant, supportive, and tailored to your individual circumstances.
What You Can Expect
Counselling is a collaborative process, and your comfort matters.
Throughout our work together, I will regularly check in about how sessions are feeling, what is working well, and whether adjustments are needed to better support your goals.
You can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore challenges, identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical strategies for navigating life's difficulties.
There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for. Counselling works best when there is space for honesty, choice, and trust.
