Welcome, I'm Brandy.
I'm so glad you are here.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (MCP, RCC) working with adults navigating anxiety, body and food challenges, and low self-worth. Every day I witness the courage it takes to heal, and I’m honored to walk alongside people as they rediscover freedom, confidence, and a deeper connection with themselves.
My approach is human-centered, gentle, and collaborative. I create a safe space where you can explore your experiences without judgment, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and build practical skills for lasting change. Together, we focus on what matters most to you, moving at a pace that feels right.
Over the years, I’ve supported individuals through anxiety, body and food struggles, challenges with self-worth and self-esteem, depression, suicidality, trauma, grief, self-harm, and life transitions. My passion is helping people build a deeper, more compassionate relationship with themselves.
If you’re ready to explore new ways of relating to yourself, your body, or your experiences, I would be honored to support you on that journey. You don’t have to do it alone — let’s take the next step together.
My Philosophy
I believe deeply in the power of relationships and that it is in relationship that healing ultimately occurs. Being seen is a fundamental need of every person, and I strive to create a space where people can feel safe enough to share their truth and feel accepted for exactly who they are.
I believe that there is meaning in your struggles and regardless of what you have been through and are experiencing, you are not broken. I am here to walk alongside you on your journey of healing, every step of the way.
My Approach
My approach is client-centered, trauma informed, and deeply relational in nature. I believe in working with clients from a holistic lens, drawing from a variety of modalities to ensure that their unique needs are met. I also encourage clients to see other practitioners who can compliment the work that we do in our sessions (such as Naturopaths, Dieticians, Medical Doctors, etc.) as I believe healing requires integration of all parts of ourselves.
The modalities that I primarily draw from in my work include:
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy
-
Narrative Therapy
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-
Internal Family Systems Therapy
-
Mindfulness approaches
-
Somatic approaches
I tailor all sessions to the individual, and I believe in finding ways of working that are best for each person I have the privilege of sitting with - whether that be incorporating art and creativity into sessions, spirituality, depth psychotherapy, or doing anxiety exposures together in the community. I do not believe there is a one size fits all approach to healing, and I work with each person to find the different components that will make the biggest impact to them and their specific situation.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals (19+) who live in British Columbia, Canada.
I offer in-person sessions at my office in North Vancouver as well as virtual sessions via Jane App.
