As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and deeply authentic presence to my counselling practice. I firmly believe that true healing and growth begin in a space where you can show up exactly as you are. While I welcome individuals from all walks of life, I specialize in child and youth wellness (ages 4–19), perinatal mental health, and collaborative family support.

With over 20 years of experience as an educator and school counsellor, I have a true understanding of the emotional and developmental landscapes that children and adolescents navigate today. Whether a young person is experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, or major life shifts, my goal is to provide a calm, safe environment where they feel truly heard, accepted, and capable of finding their own confidence.

I also partner closely with families to build a consistent circle of support around their children. Using my deep knowledge of the school system, I uniquely bridge the gap between home and school, acting as an advocate to help your family navigate these spaces with confidence. In addition to my work with youth, I am passionate about supporting individuals through the profound emotional changes of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. My practice is informed by specialized Perinatal Mental Health training and my time volunteering at the Pacific Post Partum Society. I also have lived experience with postpartum anxiety and depression. This background allows me to offer an empathetic, judgment-free perspective to parents navigating these complex transitions.

Outside of the office, I look for opportunities to slow down, stay present, and find ease in the middle of a full life. You can often find me practicing yoga, spending time in nature, or enjoying life with my family and my dog, Plum.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (25379), I take an open and easy-going approach to counselling. I want my clients to feel at ease because coming to therapy takes real courage.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling out of control, constantly putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or simply trying to hold everything together. You don’t have to do this alone.

I work with Adults, Youth, and Families, with a special interest and expertise in working with Neurodivergent individuals.

When it Feels Like Your Brain Doesn’t Fit

You may have spent years masking your needs, pushing through overwhelm, and questioning yourself because you didn’t fit comfortably into systems that weren’t designed with your brain in mind. Maybe you’ve been told to “just try harder,” or made to feel that being different meant something was wrong with you.

Over time, the pressure to perform, adapt, shrink yourself, or constantly explain your experience can become exhausting. You may find yourself wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so difficult for you.

You’re not weak. You’re tired.

Does this sound familiar:

• Exhausted, trying to constantly masking
• Struggling with transitions, unexpected changes and routines
• Feeling misunderstood, isolated or “too much”
• Challenges with executive functioning
• Self-blame and self-doubt
• Wishing you were different

One of the ways I help my clients is by exploring the nervous system and how it responds to stress, relationships, life experiences, and the demands we place on ourselves.

You may understand what you should be doing, but still find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, reactive, exhausted, or unable to calm down. Learning to recognize what is happening in your body and nervous system can help create greater understanding and, over time, a greater sense of calm, connection, and peace.

Supporting Adults, Youth & Families

I work with adults who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, difficulty with boundaries, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or major life transitions. Sometimes, as adults, we become so accustomed to taking care of everyone else that we lose touch with what we need. Counselling can be an opportunity to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin making changes that support your own well-being. I also have a particular interest in working with youth and neurodivergent individuals. I understand that children and teens can experience the world differently, and that what looks like challenging behaviour on the outside can often be communicating something much deeper. I work with young people and parents to reduce conflict and increase connection, helping families better understand one another and find ways forward that feel supportive and realistic.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC (#19963). The bulk of my experience is working with trauma, complex trauma (ex. sexual assault/exploitation) as well as focusing on attachment within families and relationships. When I work with teens, I am keenly aware that enlisting the wisdom of the family is as valuable as building a strong therapeutic relationship with an adolescent. I have worked with teens who might be described as “high risk” and have an eye for building a strong relationship even when your teen is feeling sceptical about counselling.

I have a special interest in working with people struggling with fertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum experience. If you have struggled with any of these issues, you have a unique perspective that requires an understanding of the many contextual layers that impact how you are feeling.

If you’re on the fence about counselling, not sure if it’s right for you or you’re wary about finding the right match, book an intro-call and trust your gut. Worst case, you never speak to me again and you spent 15 minutes learning more about what you want in a counsellor.

About Me

I’m a trauma-trained mental health professional and trained social worker who provides secure online counselling for adults, teens (12+), and families.

My style is warm, approachable, and, most of all, easygoing. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself—not like you have to say the “right” things or have everything figured out before you come to counselling. You can show up exactly as you are.

I believe that good counselling starts with feeling safe, heard, and genuinely understood. My role is not to judge you or tell you how you should live your life. Instead, I work alongside you to understand what you’re experiencing, make sense of what may be getting in the way, and find practical ways to help you move forward.

I offer compassionate, evidence-informed counselling that combines practical strategies with deeper self-exploration. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling not only supported, but also more confident, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle whatever life brings your way.

My Experience

I’m a counselling intern with more than 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and with many different life experiences, so there isn’t much that I haven’t worked with.

My background as a trained social worker, former foster parent, and school counsellor has shaped the way I understand people and their stories. I’ve learned that what we see on the surface is often only part of the picture.

Our mental health and emotional well-being can be influenced by so many things—our early experiences, relationships, family systems, biology, environment, culture, life circumstances, and the ways we have learned to cope.

How I Work

I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Attachment Therapy

My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-focused. I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves with greater compassion, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Sometimes therapy is about learning new skills. Sometimes it’s about understanding why you respond to situations the way you do. And sometimes it’s simply about having a safe person beside you while you work through something difficult.

Often, it’s a combination of all three.

Areas I Support

I work with clients experiencing:

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) Autism, including AuDHD Anxiety Depression Emotional regulation difficulties Life transitions Premenopausal and menopausal mental health Childhood trauma Religious trauma Sexual abuse Emotional abuse Physical abuse Post-traumatic stress Workplace stress Self-esteem and identity concerns Who I Work With

I provide counselling for:

Adults Teens (12+) Families Gender- and identity-inclusive counselling Neurodiversity-affirming care Indigenous and First Nations clients Employee Assistance Program (EAP) clients Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) clients Clients seeking secure online counselling You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out

Maybe you’ve been managing on your own for a long time. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or simply unsure of what comes next.

You don’t need to have the answers before you begin counselling.

You also don’t need to wait until things become unbearable.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship or family challenges, questions about identity, neurodiversity, or a significant life transition, I offer a space where you can slow down, take a breath, and be yourself.

My hope is that, over time, you feel more understood—not only by me, but by yourself.

Louise currently has a 4 week waitlist for new clients. Please call 778-899-5716 to book with another therapist. Thank you

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (23799), I feel very privileged and find it an honor to walk with clients on this messy journey called life. Life can be amazing sometimes, but life can also be difficult, fraught with challenges. We were never meant to do this on our own. I work with adults, youth and couples.

I know how difficult it is to ask for help and reach out. It requires strength and vulnerability. So, thank you for coming to this page and taking the next step.

My approach to counselling:

I am a very good listener and this makes the biggest difference in the two of us doing the work that lies ahead - you know you are being heard. Through our work together, we can utilize the power of connection and how every human being longs to be seen, heard, and understood. This in turn leads to greater clarity for steps ahead.

I believe that we are the experts of our own lives and stories. No one knows our own lives and our own selves better than each of us do. Therefore, my focus is on being client-centered. I believe that the past can inform the present, and so psychodynamic considerations are important. Incorporating stories is an important element in using narrative therapy with a humanistic approach.

I am warm, compassionate, and with a touch of humor, and my clients would describe me as non-judgmental, very real, and authentic.

Let’s walk forward together

Anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to face it alone. I work with teens and adults experiencing these as well as relationship stress, life transitions, grief & loss, and feelings of overwhelm. We’ll work collaboratively, and at times I might ask challenging questions to help you explore new perspectives or parts of yourself as you move toward clarity. Not sure where to start? That is completely okay. I will support you as we explore your inner world and make sense of what’s going on. This is a space where you—or your teen—can show up without pressure and where it’s okay not to have everything figured out.

Your goals and strengths will lead the direction of therapy, with a few tweaks here and there. We will consider your current relationships as well as your childhood to inform us of how your body’s Nervous System directs and impacts you each day. As you learn more about your body’s fight/flight/freeze responses you will begin to understand your emotional responses and choose different ways to express yourself. Therapy can sometimes be intimidating, so my job is to help you feel relaxed, maybe even laugh a little at ourselves. We will create space for difficult emotions and might find new ways to respond to familiar challenges. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, supportive relationship—one where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Wondering if your teen might be neurodivergent? Hearing terms like ADHD or Autism can be overwhelming. When you’re in the thick of parenting challenges it can feel like a lot, especially when you’re not sure if your approach is helpful. I have worked with teens who are diagnosed with ADHD or Autism, as well as those who haven’t had an assessment. As a parent, you might also be looking for support with setting limits while helping your adolescent mature with the confidence to make mistakes. Neurodiverse teens can struggle between masking their behaviours and learning to accept themselves for the unique and awesome people they are. I can support your teen (and you) in navigating through the daily grind of school/friends/family/social media in a way that works for them, not always for everyone else.

Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or for your teen, I offer an approach that respects your unique experiences and supports growth at your own pace.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel genuinely supported and empowered to heal and grow.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals facing trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. I’ve worked with teens navigating difficult emotions, anxiety, and depression, as well as with adults in community, correctional, and psychiatric settings. My passion lies in helping clients discover hope, resilience, and lasting change.

Whether you’re navigating personal or relationship struggles, or coping with life transitions such as illness, loss, grief, or divorce, I’m here to support you. Having moved through my own life transitions, I deeply understand the importance of feeling supported. I especially enjoy helping women through key life stages, including menopause, and bring extensive experience in working with men across a wide range of concerns.

In our work together, I draw on proven therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs—such as EMDR (for processing past trauma), AEDP (an experiential approach that draws on emotional and somatic awareness), and polyvagal theory (to support nervous system regulation).

Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I want to help you feel as comfortable as possible.  Let’s start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
