Compassionate EMDR Therapy in Vancouver & Online with Courtney
Many things in life are outside our control, and the pain, loss, and struggles we carry can feel heavy and overwhelming. Many of us carry our hurts, traumas, and struggles without knowing how to set them down. In counselling, I offer a space where your story—both the wounds and the resilience—can be held with care and you don’t have to hold them alone. Together, we will explore how past experiences shape your present, and how compassion, awareness, and connection can bring clarity and healing to your relationship with yourself and others.
Approach to Trauma-Informed Therapy
With nearly a decade of experience supporting children, youth, and adults, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about meaningful change that happens when we slow down enough to listen to what our inner world is telling us, and courageously face those truths with compassion. My approach is relational, attachment oriented, and trauma-informed. In much of my work, I focus on how past experiences and patterns affect our relationships with ourselves and others and hold space for the questions that painful experiences bring up about safety and the belief of goodness in the world. I see therapy as a shared and collaborative process that is built on there therapeutic relationship.
It is a privilege for me to sit with clients in their most vulnerable spaces and to witness the courage it takes to do this work. My hope is that through our time together, you will feel safe, seen, and supported as you move toward greater connection with yourself and others. If you feel ready to take the next step, I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Outside of Therapy Sessions
I’m an avid explorer at heart. Whether that means spending time outdoors, getting lost in a good book, or finding new adventures in everyday life. I love cooking, discovering local coffee shops, and sharing good food with others. My personal faith keeps me grounded, and I’m always drawn to meaningful connections, whether through conversation or simply being together.
