The Succulent Story
Succulents thrive in hard places — adapting, enduring, and growing even when conditions are far from perfect. In dry ground, it can seem like nothing is happening. But beneath the surface, roots are deepening and strength is quietly building — long before growth becomes visible.
Therapy is much the same. Healing doesn't always announce itself. But even in the stillest seasons, something is always moving beneath the surface. The succulent is a reminder that resilience lives within all of us — and that growth, however quietly, is always finding its way.
How I Can Support You
A collaborative path to healing — for every member of the family, at every stage of life.
A Collaborative Path to Healing
I support individuals, couples, children, and families in navigating life's challenges, relationships, and healing processes. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered — offering a grounded and supportive space where clients feel safe, seen, and able to show up authentically, whether we meet in person in Maple Ridge or virtually from wherever you call home.
Adoption
As an international adoptee with lived experience, I offer compassionate, informed support for individuals and families navigating the complexities of adoption — whether you're an adoptee, adoptive parent, or birth family member seeking guidance and healing.
Domestic Abuse Support
I draw on training in the When Love Hurts framework to provide compassionate, informed care for women and children impacted by domestic abuse.
Trauma-Informed Support
I provide trauma-informed care that recognizes and honors the profound impact of early experiences as well as the traumas that can arise throughout adulthood — offering a safe space for healing rooted in compassion and cultural sensitivity.
Neurodiversity-Affirming
I offer supportive, affirming care for neurodivergent individuals, recognizing that diverse minds bring unique strengths, and tailoring my approach to meet each person where they are.
"Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human."
- Henry J.M. Nouwen
