Hi, I’m Evi (she/her), I am a registered clinical counsellor licensed throught the BC association for clinical counsellors. I have a masters-level education and training in counselling, with specialized research in ADHD and self-esteem.

I offer a warm, curious and non-judgemental approach to any and all issues brought to your therapy session. My aim is to support you toward relief through safe, supportive and effective psychotherapy. I am passionate about helping my clients to lean into the root cause of what is troubling them, and offering support and guidance as they move toward balance and healing.

I work with clients who’ve experienced traumas, low mood, anxiety, difficult relationships, adhd-related challenges or issues of self-worth —no issue is too big or too small.

I believe deeply in the power of counselling and I have had my own experiences as a client which led me to this work. It is a great privilege to walk alongside you as you learn and grow.

My counselling approach

I use a combination of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I tailor my approach to meet my clients needs and and offer both practical mental health tools as well as emotional processing for lasting change.

My counselling approach is gentle, honest and trauma-informed. Sessions incorporate your needs and preferences as much as possible, while also shaping the session to make it count. You can expect sessions that are engaging and non-judgemental and which embrace feminist, queer, neurodivergent and multicultural ways of knowing.

Some of the other therapy models and frameworks you can expect in session are:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Parts Integration

  • An attachment focused approach

Therapy can be like a map for our life we didn't know we had. Counselling can help you see your life, choices and relationships in a new way, and help you feel clearer about how you want to feel balanced and well.

It takes tremendous courage to ask for help. You have already made it this far.
