I believe healing occurs when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and holistic, recognizing the deep connection between the mind, body, emotions, and lived experience. With more than 15 years of experience as a physiotherapist and training in counselling psychology, I support clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, perfectionism, burnout, chronic pain, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I also work with survivors of abuse and trauma, supporting clients in rebuilding safety, self-trust, self-compassion, identity, and connection to themselves.

I integrate intuitive, evidence-based, and strengths-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and emotionally focused, person-centered care. I believe each person’s story matters, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion while building on their existing strengths and resilience. I also support individuals in exploring and integrating transformative experiences, including those related to psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Having lived and worked across multiple countries and cultures, I value culturally responsive and inclusive care. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person’s unique values, goals, and experiences. My aim is to help clients move back into alignment emotionally, mentally, physically, and relationally, while incorporating practical tools and insights in order to navigate challenges and create meaningful, sustainable change in their lives.

My counselling approach is rooted in creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I am inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and feel honoured to walk alongside individuals as they heal, grow, and create more empowered lives.

My journey into counselling began with supporting mothers through postpartum challenges and later as a neurofeedback technician, where I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. These experiences deepened my belief in individualized care and the importance of meeting each person where they are.

I take an integrative, client-centered approach, drawing mainly from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centred Therapy, while incorporating other modalities when helpful. Guided by empathy, respect, and collaboration, I strive to create a safe environment where clients can explore challenges and build on their strengths.

My goal is to create a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are. Through my experience working in a different career, I saw how powerful it can be to have space to feel heard, understood, and supported.

Life can be unpredictable and, at times, overwhelming. When multiple challenges arise at once, it can become difficult to prioritize your own needs and well-being. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly and freely, without pressure or judgment. My approach to counselling is warm, curious, and collaborative, grounded in building genuine connection and understanding.

I view counselling as a journey we take together. I strive to work alongside clients in reflection, self-understanding, and growth. Healing often begins with simply showing up as you are and creating space for the parts of yourself that need to be heard and understood.

I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based practices.

I welcome clients of all genders and backgrounds. I have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals with emotional regulation, as well as clients navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have also worked extensively with youth ages 12–18. In addition, I support individuals experiencing major life transitions, high sensitivity, academic stress, and career-related challenges.

Sometimes we carry more than others can see. Worry, grief, expectations, changing relationships, questions about who we are, or simply the feeling that something in life no longer fits can become heavy. Therapy can be a place to set some of that weight down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and reconnect with what matters to you.

My path to counselling has grown through years of supporting children, youth, adults, and families as an educator, play therapist, community volunteer, crisis responder, and parent. These experiences have deepened my belief in the power of genuine human connection and the importance of creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in Person-Centered Therapy. I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity, and compassion, and I recognize that you are the expert in your own life. I will walk alongside you as we explore your experiences, strengths, and hopes at a pace that feels right for you. Depending on your needs, I may integrate tools from CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches.

I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, school or work stress, identity exploration, cultural adjustment, parenting, relationships, and women’s issues. My lived experiences as a Filipino-Canadian have also deepened my appreciation for the many ways culture, family, identity, and spirituality can shape our lives. I bring this awareness into therapy with cultural humility and genuine curiosity, recognizing that each person’s story is uniquely their own.

For me, therapy is ultimately about connection. It is a safe and collaborative space where you can understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned.

Outside the counselling room, I find joy in spending time with family and friends, doing creative work, walking my dog, and being outdoors.

Welcome – I’m Farrokh (he/him), and I’m glad you’re here. As a graduate-level counselling intern currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), I bring both lived experience and professional passion to the work we’ll do together. My journey began when I immigrated to Canada in my 30s, a life-changing experience that deepened my understanding of identity, belonging, and personal growth. Embracing the cultural, spiritual, and emotional diversity around me has shaped my holistic approach to counselling, allowing me to connect with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. Before stepping into the world of counselling, I worked with humanitarian organizations, where I supported individuals and communities in navigating crisis and recovery. These experiences have grounded me in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and empowering, where you can feel truly heard and supported. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, emotional pain, or searching for clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your inner strength and move toward healing and growth on your own terms. My Therapeutic Approach I integrate evidence-based modalities in a person-centred, collaborative manner, tailoring each session to your goals. My primary approaches include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also draw from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to support actionable, strengths-based change. I believe in creating a safe space where we can explore emotions, thought patterns, and trauma while building tools for resilience and healing. Who I Work With I am deeply committed to supporting individuals from diverse racial, cultural, sexual, and spiritual backgrounds. I welcome anyone who feels that my services may resonate with them. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, with a focus on empowering you to move through life’s obstacles and embrace personal and emotional growth at your own pace. Working with Me In our work together, you will learn to embrace self-reflection, build emotional awareness, and move toward self-acceptance and authenticity. Together, we will identify and shift unhelpful patterns, break cycles of anxiety and depression, and foster healthy coping mechanisms. You will gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, improve communication, and enhance your relationships, all while exploring your inner world with curiosity and compassion. Training & Professional Development As a MACP student, I am continually expanding my knowledge and skills. Some of my specialized training includes: • The Power of Early Intervention: How EMDR Heals Trauma and Burnout • When the Body Says No: The Link Between Stress, Trauma & Disease with Dr. Gabor Maté • ACT for Behavioural Addictions • A Brief Journey into Vicarious Trauma • How to Fix Your Negative Patterns by Alain de Botton

Fun Facts You might find me strumming a guitar, free-falling from the sky, or enjoying the stillness of a forest trail. I’m a musician at heart and a thrill-seeker by nature; skydiving and bungee jumping are just as much a part of my journey as yoga and meditation. I’m also a proud plant parent and devoted cat dad. Whether it’s hiking with furry friends or enjoying quiet moments with nature, I find joy in the balance between adventure and mindfulness.

Hello, I’m Kian Guard, an Associate Therapist at Counselling For All.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself and know that you can talk openly without fear of judgment. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. My role is to work alongside you as you make sense of what you are experiencing, understand yourself more clearly, and work toward the goals that matter to you.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, stress, low self esteem, overthinking, emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, life transitions, career or academic stress, identity and self discovery, motivation, perfectionism, people pleasing, loneliness, and personal growth. Whether you are dealing with a specific challenge or simply feel stuck, I believe therapy can help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and evidence informed. I take time to understand the patterns and experiences behind what you are going through while giving you space to talk openly and make sense of your thoughts and emotions. When helpful, I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy to explore and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. I also incorporate practical tools and strategies that fit your needs and everyday life.

I have several years of experience providing individual and group support to people from a range of backgrounds and age groups, including young people, adults, parents, and coaches. This experience has taught me the importance of meeting each person where they are and recognizing that everyone has their own experiences, strengths, and ways of coping.

I see therapy as a partnership. You know yourself and your life better than anyone else, and my role is to support you as you explore, grow, and work toward a life that feels more fulfilling. I also believe therapy does not always have to feel heavy. I bring warmth, openness, and a sense of humour into my work, because feeling comfortable enough to be yourself is an important part of the process.

Hi, I’m Juliana. I’m a psychotherapist-in-training with a psychology degree from Brazil and about five years of experience supporting kids, teens, and adults. I offer therapy under supervision in both Portuguese and English.

You might be reaching out because life feels overwhelming or uncertain, or simply hard to navigate by yourself. These feelings can show up as anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, career or life transitions, grief, immigration experiences, or adjusting to a new culture or stage of life.

I approach therapy as a shared journey. Grounded in person-centred therapy, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space that moves at your pace and aligns with your goals. I also bring in psychoanalytic perspectives to explore deeper patterns and the narratives we carry, and I share practical self-therapy tools so growth can continue between sessions. We’ll stay attentive to both your mind and body as we make sense of your emotions, behaviours, patterns, and strengths.

In real terms, that can look like slowing down to notice what’s present right now, linking current struggles to past themes when it’s useful, and trying small, doable experiments, reflection prompts, grounding practices, and other habits you can use on your own. Step by step, we’ll build resources for resilience, confidence, and balance, translating insight into meaningful day-to-day change.

I’ve navigated immigration and significant life and career transitions myself, and I bring genuine respect and sensitivity to your unique path.

If you’re looking for a space to feel heard, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, you’re welcome to book a free 20‑minute consultation to see whether my approach fits what you need.

Hello! My name is Chandler, I live in Vancouver B.C. and have lived there for the last six years.

My approach to therapy is one that uses a humanistic lens which takes a more existential approach to looking at some of the feelings that come with experiences, and allows for each individual to attribute meaning and purpose to their own lives based of their values and strengths.

Sessions with me are focused on your needs first and together we will find ways to calm the nervous system, reduce cortisol, and add purpose to each day, one little moment at time.

You don’t have to struggle alone.

I am an Associate Therapist completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. I offer a non-judgemental space where you can be heard, respected, and supported as we navigate your challenges. I specialize in working with trauma using a body-centered approach to healing. Using breathwork, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy, clients can regulate their emotions, navigate daily stressors, and unpack painful and traumatic events.

I have over 20 years of experience working with older adults, people living with physical and intellectual disabilities, neurodivergent people, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. My belief is that everyone deserves wellness, and I hope to help clients develop the self-love and resilience they need to lead purposeful lives.

My services are available virtually for $30 per session, but no one is turned away due to cost. While completing my Master’s degree, my services are provided under the supervision of a licensed clinician, in alignment with professional and ethical standards.

Hi! My name is Mina Hanna, and I am completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology with the goal of becoming a professional counsellor. My path into counselling grew out of personal experiences of growth, cultural transition, and a deep curiosity about the human mind and resilience.

Before counselling, I worked as a medical doctor and later in the insurance risk sector, where I learned to recognize patterns, assess risk, and appreciate each person’s unique story beyond the data.

In my practice, I prefer to integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Adlerian and Psychodynamic approaches, along with Gestalt and Psychodrama principles to deepen awareness and foster self-understanding through experience and reflection.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and meaningful change. As a practicum student, I am continuing to develop my clinical skills while drawing from evidence-based approaches that align with my values and emerging practice.

I am particularly interested in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and appreciate its emphasis on psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and helping clients move toward a life guided by their values. I also draw from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which highlights clients’ existing strengths and resources, Narrative Therapy, which recognizes the power of the stories we tell about ourselves, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which offers practical tools for understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Alongside these approaches, I am influenced by feminist and existential perspectives. Feminist theory helps me remain attentive to the ways social, cultural, relational, and systemic factors shape people’s experiences, while existential perspectives encourage exploration of meaning, identity, freedom, responsibility, and how we respond to uncertainty and change. These lenses are especially important in my interest in climate-aware therapy, which recognizes that climate change and environmental uncertainty can have meaningful impacts on people’s emotional well-being, relationships, sense of identity, and hopes for the future. I hope to incorporate climate-aware perspectives into my practice by creating space for clients to explore these experiences while supporting them in responding to uncertainty in ways that are grounded in their values, strengths, and sense of meaning.

Above all, I believe that therapy is most effective when it is grounded in an authentic, trusting relationship. My goal is to work collaboratively with each client, tailoring the therapeutic process to their unique experiences, strengths, and goals while creating a space where honest reflection and meaningful change can emerge.

Hi there! My name is Mariya Manoukian and I’m currently working towards completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology (MACP). After receiving my Bachelors from York University in Psychology, I dove into the mental health field in working with LifeWorks, now known as Telus Health, as the first point of access to those under the EAP. I was able to support hundreds of callers in getting started in their mental health journey which inspired me to pursue a career in counselling in helping those make a positive change in their lives. Under clinical supervision, I’m deeply committed to creating meaningful change in the lives of those I support. With compassion, empathy, and a strong belief in the power of personal growth, I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their challenges, build resilience, and move towards a more fulfilling future. Together, we will work on rediscovering inner strength, one conversation at a time.

I believe counselling should feel like a conversation where you can slow things down, speak honestly, and make sense of what is happening without feeling judged or pressured to have all the answers.

My name is David, and I provide counselling under clinical supervision as part of my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology practicum.

Moving from England to British Columbia, returning to education later in life, and building a family across two cultures have given me an appreciation for how complicated change, identity, relationships, expectations, and belonging can become. Sometimes things can look perfectly manageable from the outside while feeling very different internally.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and curious. I want therapy to give you enough space to think out loud, understand your own reactions more clearly, and notice patterns that may be difficult to see when you are caught in the middle of them. I am not interested in rushing you toward an answer or forcing everything into a diagnosis or framework.

My work is primarily influenced by person-centred and humanistic therapy, alongside narrative and solution-focused approaches. This means we may spend time understanding where things come from, while also looking at what could realistically begin to change.

If this sounds like the kind of counselling relationship you are looking for, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

Hi, I’m Jenna, and I’m currently finishing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology while providing counselling under clinical supervision as part of my practicum.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and support can make a difference. I aim to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking about whatever’s on your mind.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I draw from different approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and humanistic therapy while always adapting to what feels right for you as the client.

Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for support through a difficult time, I’d be happy to connect and offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I am a therapist with a background in Counselling Psychology, currently practicing under supervision. I work with individuals who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm, particularly those who feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward.

My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in creating a space where you can speak honestly without fear of judgment. I focus on helping my clients understand what is happening beneath the surface, the patterns, emotional responses, and internal experiences, so that change becomes clearer and more achievable.

I use a combination of trauma-informed, client-centred, and skills-based approaches to support you in building emotional regulation, self-awareness, and practical coping strategies. This may include working through difficult thoughts, managing intense emotions, improving boundaries, and developing healthier ways of responding to stress and relationships.

My experience includes supporting individuals dealing with trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and complex life circumstances, including those impacted by social stressors, instability, and major life transitions. I have worked with women, youth, and adults across community and healthcare settings, supporting both immediate stabilization and longer-term growth.

I approach counselling with clarity, consistency, and care. I will meet you where you are, but I will also support you in moving forward, at a pace that is realistic, structured, and focused on meaningful progress.

If you are looking for a space to understand yourself better (be real with yourself ), manage what you’re going through, and begin making practical changes, we can work through that together.

I believe In a biopsychosocial approach to counselling by which mind-body wellness is achieved by creating harmony between an individual’s social environment, personal thoughts and values, and biological make-up.

As every individual is unique, so too should be their plan of treatment. Using an eclectic and integrative approach, I will draw upon a variety of person-centered, existential, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor a treatment plan specific to your individual needs.

I have over 10 years of experience within the behavioral health sector, working with a variety of individuals across all stages of cognitive-behavioral development. Though versed in individual emotional health issues, I have a special therapeutic passion for Couple’s Counselling and Sex Therapy.

As sex is a fundamental and necessary piece of the human experience, addressing the potential generational shame, religious guilt, and personal trauma associated with sexuality plays an important role in the development of self-confidence, self-worth, and healthy a healthy romantic relationship.

Hi, I’m Julie. I’m currently completing my practicum in Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

My path to becoming a counsellor has been long and circuitous. Through my various career paths of schoolteacher, massage therapist, and conscious movement teacher, as well as my own life experiences, I have come to deeply value the benefits that can arise when we find a therapist we feel aligned with, and I strive to be that person. Someone who can listen unconditionally, with empathy, respect and compassion. Someone who sees the whole person, not just their presenting issue. Above all else, I believe that each of us is a whole, complete individual, with an innate desire to further our growth and reach our full potential, but sometimes we need a little extra support to help us move through the difficult or challenging times. I am honoured to be that person for you, if you feel called to meet with me.

My therapeutic approach is person-centred, collaborative and integrative. I will meet you where you are at, and together we will create a plan to help you move towards your goals. As a somatic therapist and conscious movement facilitator, I believe talk therapy is enhanced when we have an awareness of the body-mind connection, and I will invite this awareness into our sessions. Through my own curiosity, I will encourage you to become curious about your own patterns of thinking and behaviour. I am drawn to mindfulness-and compassion-based practices such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) and incorporate a strengths-based approach. I strive to be a warm, caring, nonjudgmental presence, but will not be afraid to gently challenge you and invite you to explore your growth edges. I value open, honest, authentic communication, and believe that empathy and compassion create the fertile grounds for a positive therapeutic relationship; beyond this, anything is possible. All sessions are as an associate therapist, working under clinical supervision.

Populations I Prefer working with: Anyone who feels aligned with my work, including individuals, youth and couples

Life Transforming Investment: Associate Therapist Fee

Working with me you will learn: Increased self-love, self-compassion, and self-acceptance; increased mindfulness, and tools to help you self-regulate your nervous system. You will hopefully leave a session with me feeling more grounded, with more clarity about your issues and your patterns, as well as a clearer sense of purpose and direction. You will feel heard, respected, supported, cared for and possibly challenged.

My approach to counselling is person-centered and trauma-informed, with a focus on creating a space where people feel safe, understood, and able to show up as they without judgement. I believe life isn’t always black and white, and that much of our experience exists in the grey as we navigate challenges, relationships, identity, and growth in our own ways.

I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating anxiety, identity, life transitions, relationships, and self esteem. Growing up in a Punjabi community where mental health conversations were often left unspoken also shaped my understanding of how culture, family dynamics and lived experiences can impact mental health. I welcome anyone who feels aligned with my approach and the space I hope to create.

Hello! I am glad you are here.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I work with individuals who may be navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or feelings of overwhelm. Together, we focus on understanding your experiences and developing meaningful strategies that support your well-being.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I draw from evidence-informed practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), strengths-based approaches, and trauma-informed care. I believe each person brings their own resilience and wisdom to the therapeutic process, and therapy can help uncover and strengthen those inner resources.

Sometimes we carry so much for so long that we forget what it feels like to truly slow down and check in with ourselves. You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, disconnected, or simply tired of holding everything inside on your own.

I offer a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My approach draws from CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness, while always focusing on what feels most supportive and meaningful for your unique needs and experiences.

I am an Associate Therapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, offering low-cost, supervised therapy through Counselling For All. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, relational approach that emphasises safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s lived experience. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore their inner world at a pace that feels right for them. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, ageing, relational difficulties, identity shifts, intimate partner violence and post-traumatic stress. I am particularly drawn to work that helps clients make sense of their emotional experiences, reconnect with themselves, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and aligned with their values.

I welcome clients of all genders and backgrounds and have a particular interest in supporting men’s mental health, especially those who may be navigating emotional overwhelm, anger, loneliness, or difficulty expressing vulnerability. I also work with individuals facing major life transitions, including changes in relationships, career, aging, and identity. As an immigrant to Canada who has lived and taught English in several countries, I bring a culturally responsive and reflective lens to my work. I value the many ways people understand themselves, their histories, and their worlds, and I aim to honour each client’s cultural, social, and personal context.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing primarily from emotionally focused therapy (EFT), existential and humanistic frameworks, and skills-informed practices influenced by dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I pay close attention to emotional safety, nervous system regulation, attachment patterns, and the impact of past experiences on present-day coping. Rather than focusing on symptom reduction alone, I work collaboratively with clients to deepen emotional awareness, build self-compassion, and strengthen their capacity to respond to life with greater flexibility and intention. Therapy is tailored to each individual, and interventions are chosen thoughtfully to support both emotional processing and meaningful change.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. In our work together, we will gently explore what is getting in the way, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate inner resources that support resilience and growth. I aim to be present, honest, and engaged in the therapeutic relationship. My aim is not to fix you, but to work with you as you develop greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and a fuller sense of alignment with your values. Whether you are seeking healing, direction, or reconnection with yourself, I am committed to supporting you with care, curiosity, and respect.

Hi, my name is Jiaxuan (Shelly). I am originally from China, and I am a student counsellor completing my master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at York University. My experience includes supporting adolescents and young adults through academic transitions, emotional stress, and cross-cultural challenges in both China and Canada. My own journey navigating diverse cultures and the many facets of my identity has inspired my passion for counselling. I support individuals navigating life transitions, stress, depression, and relationship and boundary challenges. My goal is to hold space, provide a new relational experience and foster greater self-compassion.

My counselling approach is integrative. I draw from humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic approaches. I believe that many mental health struggles arise from ruptures in relationships and connection, and that healing can happen through safe, attuned relational experiences. I use a systemic lens to understand how broader culture affects an individual’s well-being. I work through a trauma-informed lens and aim to incorporate mind-body connection for holistic healing. I work with youth and adults and welcome clients from all background.

I am available Monday to Friday: 7 am - 3 pm PT, additional time may be available upon request.
