Do you ever feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or emotions, or feel like you are stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you?
Do you ever reach for your phone, watch tv, have a glass of wine to distract yourself or numb your feelings?
Do you ever feel alone or like no one understands?
Or, do you need some support and tools to help you with a dilemma or relationship?
Have you been impacted, like most of us, by trauma? As Dr. Gabor Mate says, "Trauma is an invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds."
I know how trauma, anxiety, shame, hopelessness and self sabotage can feel – this used to be prevalent in my life.
Seeking support and being in community is one of the most powerful steps you can take to begin your healing journey – we are not meant to do it alone. With support, you have the power to heal and transform your life.
You have taken the first step by visiting me here. Feel free to reach out - I would be honoured to support you.
Hi, I’m Wendy, a registered therapeutic counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT).
While my office is located in Ladner Village, I am a short drive from Richmond, Tsawwassen, North Delta, South Surrey and White Rock. I have clients from all over the Vancouver area.
I also offer online / virtual sessions using Zoom.
I am privileged to work on the shared, traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the scəw̓aθən (Tsawwassen), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and other Coast Salish Peoples.
