Hello! I’m Andrea. As a caring and compassionate individual, I aim to provide you with a safe and supportive environment while working towards your therapeutic goals and fostering a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and understanding. Life can bring a variety of challenges, and I intend to create a space for any challenges and concerns to be explored openly and free of judgment. I believe in the power of connection; together, we can navigate the therapeutic journey. Tapping into our inner strengths and recognizing how we can bring these into our everyday lives. It is expected to feel intimidated when trying something new, but with the right enthusiasm and motivation, we can work through concerns while adding new skills to your toolbox for later when needed. Whether you are experiencing work stress, anxiety or depression, I am confident that we can collectively join together and embrace this new journey. A bit about me: I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and am currently in the final steps of obtaining a Master’s Degree In Counselling Psychology. I embrace diversity and prioritize creating a space that celebrates differences, and I can commit to bringing this mentality into sessions. I have a very energetic four-year-old boxer at home, so I spend a lot of time getting outside and love finding new hiking trails. When I am not outside, I am usually in the kitchen trying to teach myself how to cook different foods or snuggled up with a good book. I prioritize balance and holistic well-being, so I always look for new ways to fill my cup.

I believe mental health is an ever-changing journey and sometimes we need a guide for support. I consider it an honour to be your guide, as we work together to consider the whole person. In collaboration, we can explore your unique needs and the experiences that shape who you are. 

I have worked in mental health for 10-years predominately with children, youth, young adults, families, and those within the 2SLGBTQIA+ population. I specialize in these populations with a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, stress, suicidal thought, and self-harm. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, growing my plant collection, reading, cooking, traveling to new places, and binging my favourite shows.

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery means not only facing the challenges that weigh us down—procrastination, addiction, burnout, depression, relationship struggles or simply feeling stuck—but also making space for the emotions underneath: loneliness, loss, fear, shame, and the quiet ache of not feeling fully seen.   My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by lived experiences- close proximity to family members struggling with their mental health, healing encounters with the arts, the communal aspect of the Indian way of relating, my own therapeutic journey, and deep curiosity about the human experience and our internal worlds. I am EFT trained, have completed IFS-level one-training, have my diploma in expressive arts therapy & have completed UBC’s online certification in Addiction Care and Treatment.

What sets me apart as a therapist is that we don’t just talk about our problems—we create space for real, embodied shifts that support lasting change. The idea is to carry the work out of the session, and not just feel like disembodied pieces of knowledge we carry.
