Healing Starts With A Single Step
Healing is like rediscovering your way back home to yourself.
We all carry beliefs about ourselves—some are like trusted companions, while others weigh us down. These beliefs influence everything from our relationships to the opportunities we pursue.
I provide a safe space for you to unpacking life events, exploring your narrative, and deciding whether certain beliefs and actions still serve you or if you are ready for a change.
Together, we’ll dive into your experiences, identify areas where you need support, and work towards creating the life you truly desire—a life that feels authentic, purposeful, and uniquely yours. If you’re ready to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and compassion, take the first step toward healing today. Let’s embark on this journey together.
I offer in-person + couples clinical counselling in East Vancouver and Burnaby, as well as virtual clinical counselling across B.C. and parts of Canada.
Topics I Work With:
Depression/Anxiety
Self-Esteem
Stress
Body Image
Childhood
Parenting
relationships
Grief
Identity
Addictive Behaviour
Life Transitions

Hi, I am Adrienne.
Meet Your Therapist:
Since I could talk, I have been deeply curious about why people do what they do.
After a decade-long career as a nutritionist, I gained a profound understanding of how our past wounds can impact our choices and behaviours. During this time, I started looking inward, examining my choices. In my healing, I realized the transformative power of consciously addressing emotional pain.
This realization inspired me to follow my passion for understanding human behaviour, leading me to become a counsellor.
My approach is characterized by warm non-judgment support, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that allow you to heal and find the freedom to embrace your desired life.
COUNSELLING SESSIONS
To ensure we are a good fit before beginning counselling sessions, I offer a free 15-minute phone call to all prospective clients. Each session after this is a 50-minute counselling session.
I offer individual counselling services to help you work through life’s challenges in a supportive and non-judgmental environment, using evidence-based approaches to help you develop the skills and insights you need to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours more effectively.
Why See A Counsellor?
Life’s journey is like taking a walk with a bag on your back, filled with experiences—some lifting you up, others weighing you down. The tough ones can make life’s challenges feel like steep hills you’re not sure you can climb.
Counselling provides a safe space to unpack and explore these experiences’ significance and impact. By processing them, you can gradually lighten the load, heal, and move towards living the life you aspire to have.
