Proudly serving clients for 10+ years
When your life changes course, it can be useful to have extra support. Counselling can help! Change is often scary and overwhelming. As human beings, we crave stability and security and resist flux. When I chose the metaphor of the willow tree for my counselling practice, I did so quite deliberately. The willow tree represents flexibility amidst the “winds of change” in life. Our challenge is to become flexible in response to them; when we don’t, we’re like a dry branch that snaps when a gust comes along.
Life transitions are a common reason for coming for counselling. Clients meet with me in my downtown Vancouver counselling and psychotherapy office for a range of life issues, including:
Divorce / Separation
Marriage
Career / Education
Family
Illness
Geographical shifts
Loss
I would be honoured to assist you in any aspect of your life journey. I look forward to hearing from you.
