My intention is to provide a safe and inclusive environment where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Using a collaborative approach, we can navigate what has brought you to therapy together and move toward the life you want
My approach is trauma informed, client-centred, and rooted in the Adlerian principles of connection, belonging, and the importance of finding meaning. I integrate other therapeutic techniques such as exploring the mind-body connection through somatic exercises.
With a background that includes working with neurodivergent individuals, and supporting those navigating addiction and trauma, I have an understanding as to how social systems, identity, and early life experiences shape belief systems and the way we navigate the world.
I am currently completing the Master of Counselling Psychology program at Adler University and my supervisor at East Van Counselling is Cynthia Farnsworth.
Cultural Identities/Lived Experience: I am the daughter of a Cypriot father and English mother, and I immigrated to Canada at age eight with my mother from England. Growing up between cultures made it difficult to understand my true identity and feel a clear sense of belonging. I was also diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, which has deepened my empathy for those navigating unseen challenges as well as the grief that may come with a later diagnosis.
