Finding the Help You Deserve

You’re thoughtful and capable - but relationships feel heavier than they should. Maybe you’re stuck people-pleasing, second-guessing yourself, or repeating old patterns with partners, friends, or family. If past hurt still echoes in the present, I help adults rebuild self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and feel safer in connection. I support concerns like: • Low self-worth and harsh self-talk • Attachment anxiety/avoidance, trust and intimacy • Conflict, breakups, and life transitions • Trauma (relational, childhood, single-incident) • Anxiety and emotion regulation tied to relationships Special focus: Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) & globally mobile adults If you grew up between cultures or have lived, studied, or worked across countries -you may carry invisible grief, rootlessness, and “chameleon” coping. I work with ATCKs on: • Belonging and identity (“Where is home?”) • People-pleasing and boundary setting • Perfection How I work: My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening in your body and mind, and practice tools you can use between sessions. I integrate CBT (thoughts/behaviours), ACT (values-guided action and acceptance), EMDR (processing stuck memories and body-held stress), and EFT (emotion-focused, attachment-rooted work). We’ll set clear goals, track progress, and adapt as your needs change. What sessions feel like: • Space for what’s hard - without judgment • Concrete skills for boundaries, communication, and self-soothing • Gentle accountability and small, do-able steps that add up Logistics: I offer secure virtual therapy (video or phone) for adults across British Columbia. Evening and weekend appointments available. Receipts provided for extended health benefits where applicable. You don’t need perfect words to begin - just a willingness to try something different.
