About Anne-Marie

Hi, I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from UBC.
My practice integrates neuroscience-informed education with evidence-based therapies to support clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, physical injuries, and neurological conditions. I work with a range of folks: those who are looking to optimize, those who are struggling to get through the day, or individuals who may appear high-functioning but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or depleted—often due to the invisible toll of chronic stress, anxiety, and depression, or health challenges like TBI, forms of dysautonomia, or injury recovery.
My approach is warm and with humor but also direct. I draw from my training in CBT, ACT, EFT, and somatic and neuropsychotherapy models, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs while helping you build insight, tools, and momentum to create the movement in the direction you are aiming.
In addition to my counselling practice, I collaborate with neuro-focused professionals in a clinical setting—working alongside physiotherapists, neurologists, and occupational therapists to support integrated, brain-based healing. As a former high-performance athlete who lives with chronic pain, I bring both clinical and personal understanding to this work.
Growth and good living is possible, even when life doesn’t look like it used to. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
