I am passionate about helping you to show up as your authentic self in a supportive and affirming environment. I take a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and feminist approach focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment for all clients. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe environment where you can express yourself, share your story, and learn to use your inherent strengths and skills to make changes in your life. I am excited to connect with you and answer any questions you might have with a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss what it might be like to work together.
Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in different settings, from schools to agencies. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I enjoy the therapeutic process as an opportunity to witness and co-create healthy life narratives with my clients. I feel honoured for the opportunity to share your journey of exploration and creation. I respect and value the courage of those who decided, and even consider starting a therapeutic journey.
I am passionate about helping people to expand the story they write for themselves. We all carry with us a narrative of who we are and who we can become. Living with anxiety and depression, whether long standing or circumstantial, constrains our narrative: “This is who I am, this is who I will always be.” I see the process of therapy to be about connecting with your thoughts and emotions in a way that gives you control over how you respond to, and engage with, your world. I find it remarkable how small adjustments to these areas can have a profound impact on how you see yourself and those close to you. This is the beginning of a richer narrative.
Grounded Minds is a team of compassionate therapists who are skilled in treating anxiety, OCD and PTSD. Are you constantly battling anxiety, intrusive thoughts or compulsions that you can't resist doing? Perhaps you've experienced a trauma and you're finding it difficult to move forward. You may have found that pushing worries away only works for a short time. Let's work together to kick anxiety out of the driver's seat. Together, we may work on uncovering what's underneath anxiety and panic, learn how to take the power away from intrusive thoughts, or perhaps learn tools to manage uncertainty. Please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free 15 minute consultation call. We look forward to hearing from you!
