Registered Clinical Counsellor
I believe that we have most of the tools we need to take on the different hurdles in our lives. What might be missing is a new perspective that can come from a therapeutic relationship. I offer an open, safe, and non-judgmental space to all individuals who are looking to dive deep and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
As each person has their own set of experiences and challenges, I strive to support clients in a tailored way so change is promoted and encouraged. My intention is to provide clients with tangible tools and strategies to foster change as well as the opportunity to feel vulnerable in a safe space.
I celebrate and welcome diversity in my practice. Regardless of how you identify yourself, I am here to support you.
I have over 15 years of combined experience, including volunteering with the Crisis Text Lines at Kids Help Phone, working as a Program Manager and Virtual Health Coach for a substance use clinic, and currently, as a Clinical Counsellor at Pain BC. I also provide support in areas including youth in neglect, addictions, generational trauma, anxiety, and depression.
It is courageous to face difficult moments and reaching out takes an incredible amount of strength. Together, we can work towards finding new ways for you to grow. I am currently supporting clients at my practice Therapy with Shirvin and have availability for in-person sessions with Mango Mental Health near Brentwood Mall in Burnaby, BC. If you have any questions or whenever you're ready, I'm here for you.
