Non-Binary therapists in Vancouver, British Columbia BC, Canada CA

As a queer, trans woman and experienced psychotherapist, I provide a warm, inclusive, and affirming space to explore life’s challenges. Through relational, experiential, and creative therapy approaches, I help clients reconnect with themselves, heal past wounds, and move toward greater self-compassion and empowerment. Let’s collaborate to create meaningful change in your life.  

If I'm not the first helper you choose I will certainly commit to be the last one you need. It is the pressure I point on my focus to help you get where you want to get, not to spend a lifetime with a helper working on the same old cycle talking theoretical smack. Welcome. If you are here, reading these words, it signals a profound and powerful truth: something within you is stirring. Perhaps it’s a whisper, a persistent hum, or even a resounding roar for change, for growth, for a discernible difference in your daily existence, or for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. You've sensed a threshold, an invitation to step beyond the familiar and into a space of greater possibility. This innate desire isn't a flaw; it's a testament to your inherent capacity for evolution, a courageous acknowledgement that you are ready for more, for better, for a life that resonates more truly with your deepest aspirations. It takes immense self-awareness and strength to even consider embarking on such a journey, and that first flicker of readiness is the most significant step of all. The expansive and diverse helping field – encompassing psychology, counselling, life coaching, therapy, and myriad other modalities – exists precisely to honor this stirring within you. Our collective purpose, regardless of the specific discipline or approach, is fundamentally about meeting you exactly where you are at this very moment. There's no expectation for you to be "fixed" before you arrive, no need to have all the answers or even fully articulate the questions. We recognize that your present state, with all its complexities, challenges, and aspirations, is the perfect starting point. From this foundation, we commit to helping guide you, step-by-step, with unwavering support and tailored strategies, towards the specific results and the fulfilling place you’d like to be. This isn't about imposing a path but illuminating yours, working collaboratively to define what "better" and "best" truly mean for you. And that is exactly what we will do together. This journey is not one you are expected to navigate alone. It is a partnership, a collaborative exploration grounded in trust, respect, and a shared commitment to your well-being. Our approach is multifaceted, drawing upon a rich tapestry of skills and proven methodologies designed to unlock your potential and clear your path. At its core, this partnership is built on the power of trained and skilled listening – a profound capacity to hear not just the words you speak, but the emotions beneath them, the unspoken fears, the hesitant hopes, and the unique narratives that have shaped your experience. This isn't passive hearing; it's an active, empathetic engagement that creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can truly be seen and understood, perhaps for the first time in a long time. It’s in this space of deep listening that the seeds of understanding begin to sprout, allowing us to collaboratively identify the true nature of your challenges and opportunities. Beyond listening, our work together is enriched by education and training. You will gain invaluable insights into the intricacies of your own mind, your emotional landscape, your relational patterns, and the universal principles of human flourishing. This education isn't theoretical; it's practical, empowering you with a deeper understanding of why you feel, think, and act the way you do, and crucially, how you can consciously choose to respond differently. We will equip you with tangible training – practical tools, coping mechanisms, communication strategies, and mindfulness techniques – that you can immediately integrate into your daily life. These aren't temporary fixes but sustainable skills that build resilience, foster self-awareness, and enhance your capacity to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs with greater grace and effectiveness. Crucially, every aspect of our interaction is founded upon the cultivation of genuine rapport. This human connection is the bedrock upon which meaningful change is built. It’s about creating an atmosphere of trust, warmth, and mutual respect where you feel comfortable vulnerability, knowing you are in a supportive and confidential environment. When rapport flourishes, the process of exploration deepens. We will venture together into the uncharted territories of your inner world, examining past experiences, current beliefs, and future aspirations. This exploration isn't about dwelling on the negative but understanding its context, acknowledging its impact, and then consciously choosing how you want those elements to shape your future. It's about shining a light into corners that may have long been dark, not to judge, but to understand, integrate, and ultimately, transcend. Through this meticulous process of skilled listening, invaluable education, practical training, genuine rapport, and courageous exploration, we will collaboratively find whatever "weeds" are holding you where you don't want to be. These "weeds" can manifest in myriad forms: limiting beliefs whispered by past failures, persistent self-doubt that stifles ambition, unhealed emotional wounds that create patterns of avoidance, unhealthy relational dynamics that drain your energy, unexamined assumptions that narrow your perspective, or even seemingly innocuous habits that subtly divert you from your true path. They are often deeply rooted, sometimes invisible until carefully sought out, but they are invariably consuming the vital energy and resources that could otherwise nourish your growth. We will identify these obstacles, understand their origins and functions, and then, with purpose and precision, make the needed changes to clear your internal garden. This might involve reframing narratives, developing new coping strategies, setting healthy boundaries, processing old traumas, cultivating self-compassion, or learning to harness your inherent strengths. The ultimate aim is not just to remove what hinders you, but to cultivate a vibrant, flourishing life in its place. This journey is an investment in finding your authentic, most fulfilling "best life." Imagine a life characterized by clarity of purpose, genuine joy, profound inner peace, resilient confidence, healthier and more meaningful relationships, and a deep sense of self-acceptance. This "best life" is not a distant, unattainable ideal, but a vivid, tangible reality that is uniquely yours to discover and create. It is a life where you operate from a place of strength, align with your core values, embrace your potential, and navigate challenges with newfound wisdom. By committing to this process, you are not simply addressing problems; you are choosing to invest in the most valuable asset you possess: yourself. We are here, ready to walk alongside you, to guide you through this transformative process, helping you prune away the hindering "weeds" and cultivate the rich, fertile ground where your truest, most vibrant self can finally blossom. Have you ever felt lost or overwhelmed? I understand. My personal journey through anxiety, depression, and self-acceptance has inspired me to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Suppressing emotions can hinder your well-being, and I'm here to offer a compassionate ear and help you pave your path forward. Ready to unlock the door to a brighter future? If you're yearning for lasting change and ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, I'm here to connect. I offer a unique path: you decide what you pay for our sessions, starting after our initial meeting. My belief is simple: personal growth should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. After our first session, you'll reflect on the value you place on transforming your life and determine a payment that aligns with your budget. My vision is to create a community where those who can contribute more help support those who need to pay less, fostering a supportive cycle of positive change. You set your rate, and I’ll provide the guidance and support to help you achieve your goals. As your life evolves, you can adjust your payment to help sustain this community. This system has led to session rates being anywhere from $75 - $500 per session, let's create possibility for all. Ultimately, your willingness to embrace change, integrate new insights, and believe in yourself is crucial. Combined with my training and experience, we become a powerful team. Interested in exploring if we're a good fit? Sign up, and let's discover how we can work together to create the fulfilling life you deserve. Your best life is within reach.  

Are you on a journey of self-actualization and liberation? My journey as a queer, non-binary settler activist, and artist has been deeply intertwined with the pursuit of health, healing, and wholeness. With over three decades dedicated to 2SLGBTQI+ communities, I understand the unique challenges and joys of navigating a complex and often oppressive world. I believe in the power of co-regulation and the transformative potential of joy, resilience, and radical self-compassion. In my practice, I blend somatic experiencing and mindfulness to create a safe(r) and supportive space for individuals to explore their identities, heal from trauma, and cultivate meaningful connections. I am committed to anti-oppression frameworks and engage regularly in anti-racist work. If you are seeking a warm therapist who honours you and supports your path of self-discovery and liberation, I invite you to connect with me.
