We each face unique hurdles in finding and building the lives we want to live. In a space of openness and unconditional acceptance, I believe you can find the freedom to share and explore your personal story. My approach to counselling is founded in kindness, curiosity, flexibility, and respect. It is trauma-informed and person-centred.

My understanding of client experiences is built from a narrative, Feminist framework. This means I recognize that oftentimes our stories have been shaped by systems and forces outside our control. I believe that you know yourself best, and therefore your role is to be the expert in your experience and mine is to be a companion and, when apt, a guide in the process of unfolding who you are and who you want to become.

My personal experience with depression and ADHD sparked my path to working in mental health. My ongoing gender and sexuality journey has informed my passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community and any folx who have felt isolated or othered by who they are or what they are going through. 

I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your discovery of self and your journey to wellness, connection, and meaning, whatever unique form that takes.

Outside the counselling space, I enjoy jumping from hobby to hobby, mostly creating art and all kinds of crafts, and spoiling my cat.

Warm greetings! I’m Sarada (she/her). I was born and raised in East Van as a child of parents who migrated from India. . I embrace my lived experiences as a person of colour who has grown up with collectivist values in an individualistic-dominant society. These experiences have created a strong value-base of wanting to learn from, respect, and embrace other cultures and worldviews with an open mind.

I am currently completing my graduate degree in Counselling Psychology. My areas of interest as a counsellor include the navigation of cultural identity, life transitions, and rebuilding self-respect. I strongly believe that healing is a collaborative journey that does not happen in isolation. It’s an honour for me to be a part of your healing evolution.

Aside from counselling, I love to create art, work out, cook, and care for my Toy Australian Shepherd dog.

Hi there, my name is Rachel (she/her). I am a fourth-generation settler in Canada, residing on the unceded territory of the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, and Musqueam Nations. I am passionate about understanding the intricate web of relationships that define our lives – with ourselves, with others, and with our culture. As a result, my approach to therapy is relational and influenced by attachment theory, mindfulness and somatic practices.

I believe the client-therapist connection can serve as a profoundly healing, judgement-free, empowering environment to express your truth. My intention is to hold a counselling space in which you may find more ease in handling life's transitions and challenges, processing deep emotions, and embracing your authenticity. I hope that by starting with curiosity, we might collaborate to draw attention to the various ways you walk in the world, attend to your own experience, and heal yourself and your relationships.  

My own therapeutic journey began in an effort to dismantle harmful relationship patterns I was involved in. My personal work entailed shifting from cognitive knowledge to a more embodied, emotion-focused approach to healing. I aim to offer these courageous possibilities to others.

My previous volunteer work and support for persons affected by gender-based violence solidified my dedication to equity, social justice, and trauma-informed practice. I'm committed to fostering an environment where everyone's voice is heard and appreciated.

In my spare time I enjoy making pottery, practicing yoga, hiking in the great outdoors, and watching reality shows.

Hello, I’m Finu (she/her). I am a first-generation immigrant from Kerala, India. After nearly three decades of career in medical research, I am now pursuing a Master of Counselling degree. I believe that my purpose is to serve.

A variety of traumatic experiences since early childhood has tempered me. The stories we tell ourselves, the narratives others impose on us, and the meaning we assign to our experiences can affect our lives tremendously. Our adverse experiences do not need to keep us imprisoned. I believe that we contain within ourselves what we need to heal. Each person’s experience is unique and so is their process for healing. I aim to work with you to help you identify what you need for your healing and growth, and to support you in achieving your goals; when you are ready, at your pace.

My areas of interest include trauma and post-traumatic growth, loss and grief, life transitions, immigration, and burnout. My therapeutic approach is holistic, from a person-centred, feminist, and multi-cultural lens. I draw from Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, and somatic therapies.

I enjoy a variety of art forms: designing, reading, writing, sewing, and K-dramas. My (lack of) sense of direction usually results in amusing adventures.

Hi there, I’m Shana (she/her). I am grateful to live, play, and work on the traditional, unceded territory of the Skwxwú7mesh Nation (Squamish). I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential from a holistic, trauma-informed, and person-centred approach. I wholeheartedly believe that the human mind, body, and spirit have an incredible capacity for resiliency, healing, and growth from life’s challenges. With non-judgment, compassion, respect, and curiosity I will be a guide in your journey to a deeper connection to your authentic self.
My areas of interest include trauma, bereavement, and loss, life transitions, stress/anxiety, and burnout. I utilize a variety of modalities in my approach such as narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, person-centred conversations, and somatic-based practices. I look forward to the opportunity to support you in identifying and reaching your therapeutic goals.
In my spare time I enjoy going on adventures anywhere with mountains and ocean. I also enjoy reading and being creative with my hands.

Hi, I’m Bryanne (she/her), a second-generation uninvited settler living on the unceded traditional territory of the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. I am passionate about supporting others in living an empowered and embodied life. I view our bodies as intelligent and I trust in each person’s innate ability to heal. My aim is to create a non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and experiences and to develop a more secure connection to your emotional world.

My personal healing journey has been intertwined with, and guided by, my connection to nature, exploration of spirituality, development of radical self-acceptance and compassion, as well as healthy doses of curiosity and play. I understand how challenging and confusing it can feel to navigate through our internal landscapes. I consider it an honour to walk beside you for part of your unique and beautiful journey through this time in your life.

My background: currently I am completing my Master of Counselling degree. Prior to starting my Masters, I earned a Bachelor of Environmental Science degree, followed by additional training in plant medicine, herbalism, and meditation. I have spent the past five years working with folks with developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries. As well, I love being in nature, making art, and enjoying quality time with loved ones. I look forward to welcoming you to counselling.
