About Sandy

Hello and Welcome

I believe we all have certain life themes, recurring patterns and wounds that can trigger us and cause upset. Through therapy, we can get to a point where our themes become our friends and our gifts, not our triggers. I get excited about helping you to move away from self-defeating patterns, towards self-trust and personal empowerment.

I have found that clients come to see me when they are feeling stuck or confused or perhaps struggling with the impact of past trauma. This may include feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, grief or questioning of your self-worth. My approach is tailored to you, with a big emphasis on collaboration.

I would love to help you to uncover your unique strengths, gifts and qualities and move towards greater life satisfaction. I get excited about helping you to build your self-trust and your inner well-being.

If you are looking for online therapy or in-person counselling, or a combination of both, I work out of two locations: Kitsilano Vancouver or the Sunshine Coast. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation to see if you feel comfortable working with me.

I have extensive experience working with adults, families and youth (age 13+). I am LGBTQ+ allied and a strong advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I also provide clinical supervision and consultation to beginning, intermediate and experienced counselling professionals. I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor with the BCACC and offer both individual and group supervision. With over 1000 hours of providing supervision and clinical consultation, my goal is always to empower you, �the helpers� to feel confident, effective and well supported.
