Warm, Welcoming Counseling in Vancouver to Reconnect with Your Resilience.

Let’s face it: life is complicated and tricky to navigate. Nobody “has it all together” all the time (despite what social media might portray).

Relationships, including the one with yourself, can become strained. Past trauma can weigh you down, and harmful, endless thought and behavior patterns can keep you stuck.

It’s okay; it happens to all of us.

Connecting with a therapist you can trust and confide in can help you get unstuck, gain self-awareness, and see things from a different perspective.

You have the power within you to make positive changes. You just need a little guidance to harness your innate strengths and create the life you want and deserve.

You Are Welcome Here

At Y Share Studio, my door is open to everyone, regardless of age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, beliefs, politics, or skin color. Located in the welcoming Yaletown neighborhood of Vancouver, my comfortable studio is situated on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, providing a safe space to explore your challenges and foster growth.

For your convenience, I also offer online counseling across B.C., ensuring you receive compassionate support wherever you are. Genuine, caring, and transparent guidance is central to my counseling practice. You matter and deserve to feel seen, heard, understood, and validated. You also deserve candid conversations that help you explore your strengths and the ineffective patterns you’d like to change, enabling you to live authentically both independently and within your relationships.

Discover Life’s Potential Through Counselling

At Y Share Studio, we aim to help you achieve your mental fitness and wellness goals through evidence-based, empirically tested interventions. Together, we can make meaningful changes that are within your reach—and believe it or not, your reach extends further than you might think.

One of the most important relationships is the one you have with yourself.

Individual Therapy

How you treat yourself influences how you treat others, and staying stuck in harmful thoughts and behaviors won’t benefit you.

Through individual counseling at Y Share Studio, we’ll explore those thought and behavior patterns to understand their origins. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, or feelings of disconnection, I can help.

We’ll collaborate to help you evolve, adapt, and make positive changes that improve your relationship with yourself, find your resilience, and live authentically.

Getting married to your true love is an exciting, joy-filled time.

Premarital Counselling

Are you ready to commit to facing whatever comes your way? Amid the heart-flutters and nitty-gritty of wedding planning, one of the most valuable investments in your future marriage is genuinely exploring your relationship before you say “I do.”

Research shows that couples who participate in premarital counseling report increased satisfaction and are better equipped to handle stress in the future. These couples also live in harmony and enjoy working as a team to strengthen their future.

For some couples, however, the hustle and bustle of wedding planning can make premarital counseling feel like an added chore. If that’s the case, rather than rushing through a process that deserves your time and attention, you can wait until after you’ve exchanged your vows and then focus on newlywed counseling.

Both premarital and newlywed counseling provide a safe space and dedicated time to discuss important life matters and truly understand what your life together will look like after the shimmer of the “honeymoon phase” fades.

Some challenges you’ll face in married life can be overwhelming. Preparing for them in advance is crucial to your marriage’s success. Addressing how you and your partner view finances, child-rearing, roles and responsibilities, and boundaries before the big day can give your relationship a fighting chance.

Everyone wants to be in a supportive, loving, and healthy relationship.

Couples Therapy

Perhaps that’s how things were at one point in your marriage or relationship, but things have gotten stressful, strained, and draining. Maybe you’ve even considered calling it quits. There is hope for harmony.

You and your family members are wonderfully unique.

Family Therapy

Family dynamics can be challenging, with differing opinions, communication issues, and personality clashes.

If you’re struggling to connect then family therapy can help restore harmony and navigate these challenges.

There is incredible healing power in numbers.

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a safe, supportive space to connect with others facing similar struggles.

With the guidance of co-facilitating therapists, you can collaboratively tackle challenges and develop effective coping strategies.

You’ve taken the first step to healing by being here; now take the next.
