Welcome, I’m glad you’re here! Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck, or depressed? Perhaps you're carrying grief or anxiety that may be causing your moods to shift, or you feel displaced, confused, or alone. It can be extremely difficult to manage relationships, boundaries, health, and personal/professional obligations and expectations. It can also feel daunting to navigate a life impacted by past or present trauma. Reaching out for support is incredibly brave, and it's important to know that you're not alone.
I have many years of experience in various helping professions, and I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I aim to provide a safe place for all that fosters meaningful change and healing. I work primarily with individuals who suffer from trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, depression, and/or have experienced/witnessed domestic violence. I use a compassionate, person-centered, and collaborative approach, as it's important to work together to uncover any internal or external obstacles that may be blocking your path. My goal is to create a genuine, empathetic, trusting, non-judgmental, and comfortable atmosphere where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. I love empowering individuals to discover their true selves, heal, and develop the confidence and tools needed to navigate any future difficulties.
Establishing an alliance with my clients is extremely important to me and I pride myself on my passion to help others create healthier relationships with themselves and others, while feeling more connected and secure in their lives. I have taken post-graduate training in a variety of mental health modalities and I strive to keep learning new ways to help others achieve their goals and grow. As we are all unique, I provide a more integrative experience that's tailored to meet each need. If you're ready to take the next step and want to see if we're a good fit, please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation. I would love to assist you throughout your journey!

"Marla helped me see things I'd been avoiding for years — gently, without pressure. After a few sessions, I felt lighter and more in control of my life than I had in a long time." - R.K., Vancouver Client
