Creating a place to explore your struggles, hurt and vulnerabilities, to shine a light on all the dark places and be at ease with your truths. From this struggle comes the freedom to cultivate insight, awareness and strength.

Veronica- registered Clinical Counsellor

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor I value the opportunity to work alongside and collaborate with my clients to promote their growth and wellbeing.  I work from a place that is grounded in compassion, acceptance and empathy to connect people with their natural abilities and resilience to face everything that life brings forth.

I work with individuals who are experiencing grief and loss, depression and anxiety, parenting and family challenges, and the impacts of trauma. I draw from my varied experience as a community-based counsellor and group facilitator for grief, loss, separation and divorce, as well as professional studies in Emotionally Focused Couples and Family therapy, attachment-based research, mindfulness training, trauma-informed practices, and perinatal psychology.

Part of my professional role in the community is in promoting Maternal Mental Health, working with women and families as they navigate their journey as mothers and parents. I am trained as a Postpartum Support Group facilitator through the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, and provide individual counselling for women, mothers and parents supporting them in postpartum depression and anxiety, the transition to parenthood, processing birth trauma, and parenting challenges.  I am a mother of two and a wife and I understand that meeting the needs of mothers is essential for healthy families and communities. 

I am a mother of two and a wife. Without having children of my own I would not have fully understood the role maternal wellbeing has in the ability of the family to thrive. More often than not women are at the helm of the emotional needs of their families, not to mention many other facets of the functioning family. Entering into the field of counselling I realized there was a great need to support women in all stages of motherhood. I work from a place that is woman/client-centred, rooted in compassion, empathy and acceptance. Recognizing that our physical and mental health are enmeshed is how I formulate assessment and treatment. I aim to empower individuals to connect with their natural abilities and find ease in their truths.
