About Sylvia
Do you feel like you are growing apart in your relationships, rather than growing together?
Welcome to Sunrose Therapy: Nurturing Growth, Connection, and Healing
I’m Sylvia, a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in helping individuals (ages 12+), couples and families build stronger, more resilient relationships using Emotion Focused Therapy. Relationships are the fabric of our lives, and yet, they can be the source of our greatest joys and deepest pain. As a seasoned therapist with expertise in mental health, addictions, and relationship dynamics, I’ve seen firsthand how unresolved trauma, unmanaged stress, and unhealthy patterns can erode even the strongest bonds. I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families break free from these cycles and build relationships that are authentic, resilient, and nurturing. By focusing on the underlying emotions, we can work together to create lasting change and promote greater emotional intimacy and connections.
With over 16 years working in healthcare, primarily in Mental Health and Substance Use, and 10 years working as a clinical counsellor, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse populations across various settings. In my private practice, I offer attachment-based, trauma-informed care using Emotion Focused Therapy. I can help you heal from emotional wounds and trauma, navigate relationship challenges and conflicts, develop healthier communication patterns, build stronger relationships, and regain emotional intimacy and connection with yourself and others.
Taking the first step towards healing can be both exciting and intimidating. If you’re ready to start your journey towards more fulfilling relationships and emotional well-being, I invite you to book a free consultation with me. This is a great opportunity for us to connect, discuss your goals and concerns, and determine if we’re a good fit for therapy. Visit my website (www.sunrosetherapy.ca) or contact me directly to schedule your consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how I can support you on your journey.
