WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Hi! I'm Jena.
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, a Certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home Educator, a mom, and a wife.
I have a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, sexuality and sex therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I have been counselling, coaching, and teaching for over a decade.
I started studying relationships because I found them to be, well... hard. I knew there had to be a way to feel happier in a relationship.
Thanks to attachment science, I finally discovered what works. But, as with anything worth doing, it takes practice and commitment every single day. Some days are easy, some more difficult.
I KNOW change is possible because I've helped countless couples make those changes. If they can drastically improve their relationships, so can you.
I love nothing more than seeing the incredibly brave, consistent steps my clients take to make their lives richer and fuller, and to connect more deeply with the people who mean the most to them.
I can't wait to meet and work with you!

Hi, I'm Harj.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I work primarily with persons and couples affected by substance and behavioural addictions as well as youth and young adults experiencing mental health struggles. I have eight years of experience working in the substance use field and have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, clinical hypnosis, and mindfulness-based therapies. My aim is to support clients in gaining insight into the underlying causes of their mental health struggles as well as furnishing them with tools to reduce distress and increase their sense of well being and meaning in their lives.
In my work I take a holistic view of persons and consider their personal stories, perspectives beliefs and the totality of the environments they live in. I am strongly influenced by trauma informed and existential approaches – My aim is to help clients make sense of and honour their past but also experience new found freedoms.
In addition to being a counsellor I am also a husband and a father to three beautiful children. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering, making music, working out and practicing meditation.
Hi! I'm Hameda
Hi! My name is Hameda and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I hold a Bachelor of Social Psychology and Masters in Counselling Psychology. I am certified in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (A.S.I.S.T.) and nonviolent crisis intervention. I have years of frontline experience working with high-risk youth and I am passionate about working with marginalized groups, with a special interest in women's health and racialized individuals.
I am passionate about empowering clients to reclaim their stories, get back in touch with themselves and live in ways that align with their values. I practice from a relational attachment-based perspective and incorporate therapeutic approaches such as Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This approach allows me to support my clients as they navigate life’s challenges and work towards achieving their goals.
My philosophy of counselling can be summarized by the following quote:
“The ways you have learned to survive, may not be the ways you wish to continue to live.”
- Dr. Thema Bryant Davis
