As a professional teacher, mentor, and facilitator working with children and adults in North and West Vancouver, BC for over 20 years, as well as a musician, singer, and song-writer, I have always been passionate about nurturing growth, creativity, and connection in others.
Now as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the ACCT and a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC)-Provisional with the CPCA, I support neurodiverse adults who struggle to build satisfying relationships.
Having recently become aware of my own AuDHD tendencies, and having spent many years working on my mental, emotional, and spiritual health with the support of some amazing counsellors and mentors, I understand how early life challenges can have a lasting impact on our sense of belonging. We can feel deeply misunderstood in our intentions while seeking the meaningful connections we crave, and can get caught in patterns of over-thinking and masking that lead to anxiety, depression, and exhaustion.
I truly believe that the best way to break out of these old patterns and create new ones is through self-awareness and self-compassion. The answer to deeper connections with others lies in a deeper connection with yourself.
That gentle invitation and call to courage from my first counsellor many years ago has been my guiding light in seeking out and connecting to the deeper layers of myself with compassion and acceptance. This path to inner healing is also the inspiration for Bright Wings Wellness Counselling.
Neurodiversity comes in many shapes and forms, and can impact all aspects of our lives. Maybe you have struggled for years with self-doubt and low self-esteem; maybe you live with feelings of social isolation and loneliness, or struggle to feel connected to your loved ones; maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by the context of your life and aren’t sure if the path you are on is the right one for you; or maybe you are searching for a deeper meaning to your life and you don’t know where to start.
Together, we can uncover what lies underneath these challenges and work on releasing the bright wings hiding there. Whether yours belong to a butterfly emerging from the cocoon, a bird taking flight from the nest, or a phoenix rising from the ashes, I can help you find the answers to a more aligned, connected life that have been inside you all along.
At Bright Wings Wellness Counselling, I offer one-on-one counselling support for adults who struggle to feel connected, purposeful, and motivated in their life due to the impact of neurodiversity on their relationships. I can support you with:
