“Therapy is not about having someone fix you; it’s about having someone walk with you as you figure it out.”

My name is Sharina, and I am a counseling student who values compassion and takes an integrative approach to therapy.

I believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and sometimes, we just need a safe space to be heard. As a counseling student, I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I integrate aspects of different therapeutic models to meet each person where they are.

At its core, counseling is about connection—offering understanding, guidance, and a space free from judgment. Talk therapy can help uncover strengths, reshape unhelpful patterns, and bring clarity to difficult emotions. My goal is to walk alongside my clients, helping them feel empowered as they move toward healing and personal growth.

I am deeply empathetic, genuine, and committed to creating a space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and rewrite their stories in a way that aligns with who they truly are.

Welcome! My name is Salena, and I am a passionate advocate for individuals who may not always have a voice. I’m in my 30s, and my journey has been driven by a deep commitment to supporting others in meaningful and impactful ways.

With over 12 years of experience in the field of special education, I have had the privilege of working both within school districts and providing private home care. This has allowed me to develop a broad understanding of diverse needs and approaches to support. My professional background also extends into healthcare, where I have spent more than 8 years as a care aide in long-term care facilities, working closely with residents to ensure they receive compassionate and dignified care.

Recently, I began my career in counselling with the goal of expanding my skillset and deepening my ability to serve others. Through this new chapter, I am excited to continue advocating for individuals and helping them navigate life’s challenges with care, empathy, and empowerment.

My name is Sharon, and I am a dedicated Student Therapist at Stenberg College, motivated by a strong desire to assist individuals from various cultural and social backgrounds in navigating their unique life paths. I offer an empathetic approach, providing a safe, non-judgmental, and open environment where you can explore, express, and evolve into the person you aspire to be.

I hold a deep respect for individuality and approach each session with genuine curiosity. My life has been a testament to overcoming adversity, having faced significant challenges from the very beginning. My perseverance has led to success, and now I am committed to helping you achieve the same, should you choose to accept my support.

I firmly believe in the potential for growth and change within everyone who seeks it. This belief has led me to transition from a successful career in construction to a fulfilling role in assisting my fellow humans and children.

I have a particular affection for children and am passionate about ensuring they have a voice. I strive to be a role model in both my professional and personal life.

In my therapeutic practice, I draw upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Through CBT, we will work together to uncover and address thought patterns and behaviours that may be hindering your progress. By identifying and reframing negative thoughts, we can foster healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Mindfulness techniques will be incorporated into our sessions to help you enhance your connection with your mind and body, improve emotional regulation, and find tranquility amidst life’s turmoil. Narrative Therapy will enable us to delve into and redefine your personal stories, empowering you to craft a narrative that aligns with your strengths and aspirations.

SFBT will keep us focused on progress, helping you to break free from old patterns and create a life that reflects your desires and goals.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we will chart your growth and equip you with the tools to overcome obstacles, advocate for yourself, and live your best life. Kind Regards,

Hello! My name is Jasmine and I am currently a student counsellor at Stenberg College. I am a first generation Canadian growing up in two different cultures, which has given me many diverse experiences and perspectives. I also am someone who went to school for my Bachelor’s Degree in Science but as I was close to completing my degree, I realized that it did not align with what I wanted to pursue in my life. From this I decided to change career paths and start from the beginning again to begin a new path. I realized my favourite part of school was connecting with my peers and providing personal support to my colleagues to help them pave their way towards their successes. In this I began to see the power of support and openness. I felt great that the people around me felt comfortable to share their feelings with me, along with the sense of safety they felt with me. From this I saw myself shifting towards counselling as an opportunity to fulfill a career that I feel more align with and what allows me to be the support system that I enjoy being and wished I had.

When it comes to my goals as a counsellor, I am here to listen and to provide a safe and judgement free space. This will allow you to get closer to your goals from counselling and allows me time to help you to facilitate you in your journey. My approach to counselling is holistic and somatic, which can create meaningful and lasting change. Along with this, I do focus a bit on CBT, DBT, along with behavioural interventions. It helps the body go through the therapeutic process along with the mind. Together we can discover what that means and looks like to you. Apart from English, I offer sessions in Punjabi as well, if there is an hesitation due to language barriers. I welcome you to reach out if you feel that we may resonate and I very much look forward to helping you towards your path to changes in your life!

Welcome, my name is Rebecca,

I am currently pursuing my studies in counseling at Stenberg College. With a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, I am passionate about providing a safe and empathetic space where clients can feel heard, supported, and empowered.

For the past five years, I have been working at a neuro-visual clinic in Victoria, where I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a diverse range of clients. In this role, I’ve gained significant experience supporting individuals, especially those who have experienced trauma, including patients recovering from car accidents. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the importance of addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of trauma recovery, and I’m deeply committed to helping clients heal.

As a counseling student, I am acquiring the skills and knowledge to address a wide range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma, I am looking forward to working with clients 17 and up. I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that honors each person’s unique experiences and needs, while offering guidance through evidence-based techniques and compassionate support.

Hello and Tansi,

I’m so glad you’re here. As a counseling therapist student, I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for your healing journey. My approach is rooted in person-centered and somatic therapy, as I believe healing happens when we connect with both mind and body.

I am especially drawn to working with women navigating self-care challenges, anxiety, or depression, and those seeking healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Coming from an Indigenous background, I carry a deep awareness of intergenerational trauma and how it shapes our daily lives. This understanding allows me to hold space with compassion and sensitivity.

Before stepping into counseling, I worked as an integrative health coach and chef, experiences that deepened my understanding of stress, burnout, and addiction recovery. After facing my own journey of nervous system healing, I became dedicated to helping others cultivate inner safety, resilience, and self-connection. With my certification in somatic trauma therapy, I integrate nervous system regulation into our work together—helping you reconnect with your body and find grounding techniques that uniquely support you.

In our sessions, we will take a holistic approach to healing—mind, body, and spirit. Through mindful movement, person-centered conversations, and earth-based therapies, we will explore what healing looks like for you, at your own pace.

When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me nurturing my garden, creating natural remedies, skiing, or enjoying the beach with my dog!

I’d love to connect and support you on your journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, feel free to reach out and book a session. Let’s explore healing together.

Hello, my name is Kandis. I am currently a counseling student at Stenberg College, where I am developing the skills and knowledge needed to support individuals in navigating life’s challenges. With nine years of experience as an Educational Assistant, I have had the privilege of working closely with children and youth, fostering a deep passion for helping this demographic—particularly student athletes over the past two years.

My commitment to supporting student athletes stems from firsthand experience witnessing the unique pressures they face. Balancing academics, sports, and personal life can be overwhelming, and I am dedicated to creating a supportive space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help young people build resilience, develop coping strategies, and gain the confidence to navigate this pivotal stage in their lives.

While I have a particular interest in working with student athletes, I am passionate about supporting children, youth, and young adults from all walks of life. I believe that everyone, regardless of their background, identity, or sexual orientation, deserves access to compassionate support and the opportunity to improve their mental well-being. Whether facing academic stress, relationship challenges, or personal identity struggles, I strive to provide a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals can feel valued and supported.

In my work, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Humanistic Therapy, and Mindfulness. By integrating these approaches, I tailor my support to each individual’s unique needs, helping them explore their challenges, build resilience, and find effective solutions.

As I continue my studies, I am excited to bring my background in education and my dedication to mental health into my therapeutic practice. My goal is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals I work with, offering guidance, support, and a compassionate space for growth.

Hello!

My name is Eric Frazer and I am currently a student counsellor at Stenberg College. After working in construction for over a decade, I realized that my favourite part of the job had become providing personal support to my apprentices and colleagues. In providing that support, I began to see the power of vulnerability, particularly as it applies to men and misguided masculinity, and saw shifting to counselling as an opportunity to be of service in a way that felt more aligned with my values and energy.

First and foremost, I am here to listen and to help you feel safe. There is SO much power in creating safety with another person. My promise to you is that together, any work we do will be built entirely on a foundation of safety.

I strongly believe in the importance of incorporating a somatic/experiential element to counselling in order to create meaningful and lasting change. I like to describe this as “allowing the body to believe what the mind knows.” Together we can discover what that means to you and what works best to open those lines of communication within. I am IFS Informed (Internal Family Systems) and will draw from the empowering and non-pathologizing framework it provides as we work together to help you better understand your parts and bring balance to your system.

My areas of practice include, but are not limited to, working with individuals who live with depression, anxiety, excess stress and unintegrated trauma, as well as couples who wish to improve their communication and understanding of one another.

I welcome anyone to reach out who feels we may resonate well together and very much look forward to helping you realize the changes in your life that have been calling!

“What’s shareable is bearable.” – Dr. Dan Siegel

I believe that most things in life are made easier by sharing them with a trusted person.

As your counsellor, my role is to be that trusted person, to listen with curiosity, respect, acceptance and most importantly, to meet you where you are at.

I believe in a person-centred, solution-focused approach that puts you in the driver’s seat. While you direct us toward what is most important to you, I will help navigate us toward tangible solutions that will help us arrive at your goals.

Together, we will figure out:

• How to make the challenges you’re coping with more manageable
• What you need to get you where you want to be
• How to tap into your inner power and strength
• How to make life suck less

We may also find ourselves faced with heavy, messy questions. Together we can safely explore existential ideas of meaning and purpose and work on finding answers to these big and important questions.

And using an egalitarian lens, we can focus on your strengths and the assets available to you, while not ignoring your societal context and sources of oppression.

I can help with anxiety, stress, anger, depression, trauma, grief & loss, stress, climate anxiety, family & relationships, career change & life transitions, and parenting/co-parenting.

In our sessions you can expect:

• Compassion, empathy, curiosity, and respect
• Skills, ideas, and evidence-based techniques
• Commitment, reliability, and professionalism

I support all backgrounds, bodies, genders, relationship styles, and sexual orientations. 🏳️‍🌈

I look forward to getting to know you and exploring together if I am the right counsellor for you.

Since 2024, I’ve been a student member of the Canadian Professional Counselling Association of BC (CPCA) and the Association of Cooperative Counseling Therapists of Canada (ACCT).

With age, comes wisdom and that experience means I’ve most likely walked a mile in a lot of my clients’ shoes. Having come a long way from those varied levels of life events, I understand how one can feel overwhelmed and vulnerable, especially if they are not able to get the support they deserve.

Therefore, I prioritize offering my clients their choice of counselling types:

Person-Centered Therapy, which involves deep exploration of my client’s issue along with their past and then matching that with solid techniques to find resolution,

or Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which consists of dealing with an immediate problem at the moment because life happens, and sometimes, a little support and a few resources are all we need to get back on our feet.

My goal while counselling every client is to support them in finding the tools within to empower themselves to have a successful, healing outcome.

All of my sessions are being conducted in a nurturing, non-judgmental and safe environment.

I work at each client’s unique pace to provide the most effective and rewarding experience possible.

My name is Matthew Davison. I’m a counselling student at Stenberg College. I immigrated from South Africa a decade ago for a better life for my two sons (14 and 15). I believe that life is about relationship - with ourselves, others, and nature. I have a genuine love of people and connection.

Whilst I’ve always wanted to do this work, I’m thankful for all of the experiences and challenges I’ve had to this point - they have given me a deep respect and compassion for how difficult it can sometimes feel to be a person in this world.

Who can I help?

I look forward to working with children, adolescents, parents, adults, seniors, couples, and groups during my practicum.

What can I help with?

Generally speaking, we come to therapy because we have conflict, whether it’s emotional, relational, cognitive, or behavioural. Sometimes, we have so many problems that we don’t know where to start. And other times, we can’t seem to figure out what the problem is.

I am here to help you navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, obsessive worry, career difficulties, or intrusive thoughts.

Therapeutic approach - How can I help?

The ingredients of understanding and acceptance create an environment for healing.

Our work together will be primarily focused on Person-Centered Therapy. The role of the therapist is to help bring you to yourself, and to be right with you in everything you are saying. With generous active listening I will mirror and reflect back your attitudes and feelings. Doing this with a heart of acceptance - that you make sense exactly as you are in this moment - will help create a space where you can guide us wherever it is you need to go.

If they serve your own goals and interests, we might use interventions taken from a range of other therapeutic modalities such as:

Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Holistic Therapy.

Hi! I’m Kallie, a practicum student pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have experience working with clients of all ages, supporting them through challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of individuals, I have a particular passion for helping children, youth, and families, which has been a central focus in my previous experiences.

Through my own healing journey, I’ve come to appreciate how transformative it can be to work with a counsellor. I understand both the growth that can come from these conversations and the courage it takes to reach out for support. That’s why I’m committed to creating a safe, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe a strong connection between client and counsellor is the foundation for meaningful change.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, offering a personalized and holistic experience.

Hi, welcome to my profile! My name’s Imran and I am a Counselling Therapist student at Stenberg College. I love to create a safe space that is inclusive and non-judgmental, where individuals can show up as their authentic selves and take some curated time to get to know themselves better.

Everyone’s brings forward their own unique lived experiences and I intend to be a person who can validate and empathize with your stories and support you in reaching whatever goals you may have. Though I do have a personal interest in supporting those who are dealing with anxiety, body image, self-esteem issues, relationship troubles, family conflict, career changes and the trials and tribulations that come with being a Women of Colour, I am open to learning and supporting whatever it is you may be wanting support with.

When I’m not a Counselling Therapist Student, I enjoy my own self-care by crocheting, reading, scrapbooking or off travelling somewhere with a beach!

I am a Métis, Queer Woman with certifications in Somatic Trauma Therapy and Women’s Trauma, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Emotional Intelligence, Breathwork, Somatic Movement/Dance, and I am currently pursuing certification in Internal Family Systems (IFS).

My work is holistic and non-pathologizing, blending mind, body, soul, and spirit. I work from a decolonized approach rooted in the belief that every person has an innate capacity to heal, and that we cannot heal in isolation. I am excited to support your healing in the areas of:

Stress/Burn-Out

PTSD/C-PTSD

Addiction

Childhood & Intergenerational Trauma

Domestic Violence & Gender-Based Violence

Relationships/Attachment/Parenting

Navigating major life transitions and changes

I draw equally from both my personal healing journey and my formal training; as a lifeling learner, I believe in constantly expanding and integrating my skillset and lived experience.

I have guided women as a personal healing coach for the last 5 years, while also working in different non-profit organizations. I am passionate about continuing to support women, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and Indigenous peoples toward self-trust, love, healing, resilience, and growth.

I take an intersectional, feminist, and decolonized approach, honoring each person’s unique experience. What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to helping others rise to their fullness. Each person is unique and therefore deserves a customized approach. No cookie cutter approaches here.

I believe that healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you, it’s about coming home to who you were always meant to be, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path home to yourself.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. My name is Davina and I am a counselling student Stenberg College. I have always been interested in psychology and want to contribute to the mental health field in any way I can.

I am looking to work with clients dealing with childhood trauma, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I am open to working with any other clients dealing with other problems/issues as well!

I offer a safe space, judgement free, to share thoughts, feelings and life experiences. Feel free to book an initial assessment or individual counselling session to see if counselling may be the right fit for you! I look forward to working with you soon!

As a dedicated counseling therapy student here in Stenberg Wellness Centre, I am passionate about providing a supportive and safe space for individuals who may be struggling or seeking support. Growing up in the Philippines has shaped my understanding of diverse experiences and perspectives. I approach each client with an open mind and heart, committed to helping you grow, heal, and navigate difficult conversations.

I am particularly interested in working with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, family trauma, childhood difficulties, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss and process your feelings and experiences.

I am excited to collaborate with you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. Together, we can navigate your challenges and explore new beginnings. Everyone deserves to be seen and heard, and I would be grateful to support you in this process.

As I continue my studies, I am exploring various therapeutic approaches, with a strong connection towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a person-centered approach. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering clients to develop healthier coping strategies. A person-centered approach emphasizes creating a supportive, empathetic relationship, allowing clients to explore their feelings in a safe environment. I believe that we are all capable of making changes in our lives!

A few things about me, I have a dog named Cookie! I love reading, candle making, and any indoor cozy activities. I have recently started junk journaling, collecting little things and scrapbooking with it. This hobby reminds me that there is beauty everywhere, even the little things in our everyday life. I have always known I wanted a career withing the mental health field, and I am beyond excited to take the first steps towards my career.

Thank you for your time, have a beautiful day!

Welcome,

Throughout my time at Stenberg College as a counselling student, I have become aware of my passion to provide focus on trauma-based challenges.

My directive is to help you navigate through the difficulties you have encountered through abuse (domestic and sexual), grief, depression, anxiety and stress.

Why would you want to choose me?

I’ve experienced these challenges myself and I know how it feels to be scared, misunderstood, and unheard.

Today, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and I know you can be, too.

Our therapeutic journey together will be one of complete acceptance, safety and without judgement.

My aim is to help you experience the connection you have with yourself and your environment. To draw from the strength that exists within you, and help you discover the mountains of importance you possess.

We will work with therapeutic modalities that include person-centered, solution-focused and narrative techniques. We will also explore dialectical behavioral therapy to assist you with addressing acceptance and change.

Imagine the power in a story about your life where you are the hero and not the victim!

Let’s write your next chapter together.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, my name is Sarah.

I’m a counselling student with Stenberg College and have been a practicing nutritionist for over a decade. I’ve been interested in health and wellness since I became a mother at a young age. Earlier on my studies inspired me to earn a degree in nutrition and have been working as a nutritionist since 2012. I have worked in many different health care settings, from fitness to addictions and trauma.

I’ve always been interested in preventative health measures but like for many Covid 19 brought a lot of change to my life, some of it especially difficult. Due to this though I know first-hand the value of what having support is, and just how important it is to have something to look forward to. Life can be very challenging sometimes but having someone to talk with and just be can help tremendously through these times of transition.

While learning about our physical health had been a passion initially, it didn’t take long to realize our thoughts and emotional health is equally if not more important. I’ve always considered myself a holistic health practitioner and since becoming a counselling student with Stenberg College I’m even more dedicated to learning more about how best to help others achieve balance, and wellbeing in all areas of life.

There are many areas of counselling I find myself drawn to. Aside from nutrition, I’ve really loved learning about cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and have rekindled my love for anything artistic. From gardening to painting, anything that can add a little spark. I hope to advance my studies in time in this direction as well. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve found helpful and be of help to others on their path to good health and wellbeing.

Warmly, Sarah

My Philosophy

Hello, my name is Navneet Kaur and am counselling therapist student in Stenberg college. I am here to support diverse group of people in their journey of healing and self-growth. Life can be challenging at times and make us feel stuck. Sharing your thoughts, feelings and emotions with someone who is fully there to listen can help in self exploration. Seeking help is the first step forward in giving ourselves a chance of creating more valuable outcomes.

My Approach as a Counsellor

I am passionate about listening to different experiences and perspectives that shape our reality. My approach as a counselor is holistic and collaborative. I want to hold a space for my clients where they can be themselves and explore their inner self in depth to connect fully internally. I am also there if you are interested in working on your thoughts and behaviors through approaches like CBT,DBT and behavior interventions.

With some personal experience I can tell how hard it can be to function daily while struggling internally. It can be hard sometimes to believe that there is help, when we feel lost. But give this process and yourself a chance. I want to be the part of the support and help that you deserve to experience this life.

Apart from English I offer sessions in Punjabi and Hindi. Feel free to book sessions if you are more comfortable in these languages.

Few areas I am interested to work with not limited to:

Anxiety

Depression

Grief and Loss

Anger issues

Self-esteem problems

Emotional disconnect

Career and financial stress

Addiction

I am currently a Counselling Program student, and plan to graduate with a Masters Degree in Counselling in the future. I will specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in addictions and anxiety and Somatic Therapy (working with emotions stored in the body), as well as healing childhood trauma in adults.

Healing may sometimes come from a combination of talk therapy plus other modalities, and each person deserves a customized treatment plan as an individual. I respect the right of everyone to tell their own story, and I feel privileged to be able to work in this profession and learn about you.

I support all cultures, religions, lifestyles and states of being and identity.

By adopting a holistic approach, I help my clients navigate grief, anxiety, depression, and other challenging life situations. The sessions are designed for individuals and groups.

Hello! My name is Shaylee, and I’m excited to be a counselling therapy student at the Stenberg Wellness Center.

Despite years of struggling with anxiety and depression, my personal experience of the remarkable effects therapy can have on your life when working with a counsellor you truly connect with is what led me to choose this profession. I am now a dedicated and devoted student at Stenberg College, working to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), because I am eager to help others experience that same sense of growth and healing.

I am particularly interested in working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, and low self-esteem. However, I am open to supporting anyone with various other challenges as well. I believe everybody deserves to feel seen, understood, and valued.

I enjoy using techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. I would like to work collaboratively throughout our time together to ensure each session is tailored to your unique desires and needs.

With first-hand experience, I understand how exposing and nerve-wracking it can feel to open up, voice your thoughts, and express your feelings. My main objective is to create a caring and non-judgmental space where you are safe to share freely while feeling heard, validated, and accepted.

I would love to support you in working through your issues, exploring your feelings, and helping you build a more positive, empowered sense of self.

Welcome!

I’m Crystal, a practicum intern and an aspiring counselor, and I’m excited to be part of this journey. I offer a warm, caring, and non-judgmental approach to counseling, ensuring that my clients feel genuinely heard and supported throughout their experience.

My decision to enter the counseling profession was solidified after witnessing my own children face mental health challenges at an early age. The difficulty in accessing timely support, even on urgent waitlists, was a wake-up call to the gaps in mental health care. This personal experience ignited my commitment to becoming a counselor, with the goal of being part of the solution to help meet the growing demand for mental health services.

I am here to walk with you through life’s struggles—whether it’s processing emotions, exploring the past or present, working through relationship conflicts, navigating parenting challenges, or managing life transitions. Whether you just need a compassionate ear or are ready to engage in deeper self-reflection and personal growth, I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and an open heart.

Having faced many ups and downs and personal challenges myself, I understand the complexities of life, which allows me to connect meaningfully with clients from all walks of life. This lived experience helps me engage with empathy and authenticity, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am continuously expanding my skills and knowledge in modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and Solution-Focused, goal-oriented approaches. These modalities align with my belief in the mind-body connection, the significance of relational dynamics, and the power of working collaboratively toward meaningful goals. By integrating these frameworks, I aim to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and create actionable steps toward lasting change.

No matter where you are in life or what you’re facing, I am here to walk alongside you with an open heart and ear. Let’s work together to help you find clarity, resilience, and the path forward.

Hi, I’m Demi! I’m honoured to support you on your wellness journey and grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you.

I have been drawn to the field of counselling by a deep desire to become the person I wish I had when I was younger. All past me needed was a kind and nonjudgmental presence to make her feel seen, understood, and a little less alone. I will endeavor to be that person for you if we work together. I will listen to your story with my whole heart, I will have your best interests in mind always, and I will never, ever judge you.

I work from a holistic and ever-changing selection of modalities, as I am still learning and finding the approach that works best for me and my clients. I resonate deeply with the principles of person-centred and narrative therapy, and I want to learn more about feminist and existential therapies. In the future, I plan to pursue specialized training in art therapy.

I value honesty, trust, genuineness, compassion, and inclusivity. I do my very best to embody these attributes through my work.

Outside of therapy, I love creative hobbies – I draw, make crafts, and dabble in graphic design. I enjoy playing video games. I also love travelling and exploring new places whenever I can.

I am happy to work with anyone who feels drawn to work with me. However, I would be especially glad to work with youth and young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, those who have been through religious trauma, and anyone who is dealing with anxiety and/or depression. I have lived experience in these areas that would allow me to relate particularly well to anyone who has also faced these issues.

I am a student member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT) of Canada.

If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d love to connect and explore how I can support you on your journey.
