Healing Starts Here
Therapy helps you learn about the landscape of your life and offers insight into any traumatic experiences, unhelpful patterns or narratives you want to create space from. I use a combination of honesty, compassion, and humour to get you there.
Relationship & Respect Comes First
A trusting and authentic relationship is the cornerstone for vulnerability and emotional safety. Let's build that together.
Evidence-Based & Personalized Care
Let's collaborate on your needs and goals. I'll make sure we get you to where you want to be.
Unlearning & Evolving
Freeing you from the weight of your past so you can live the life you deserve.
Let's Find You Again
Introduction
Hi! My name is Cady, I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor located in Nanaimo, BC. One of my greatest passions is helping others through life’s challenges in a real and authentic way. I am comfortable talking about the hard, uncomfortable, and “ugly” parts of life and see value in helping others reclaim their stories. With over 8 years of experience working as a counsellor in subject areas such as grief and loss, mental health, substance use, and unhealthy family and relationship dynamics, I approach each session with a balance of compassion and transparent feedback.
In working together, I hope to empower you to acknowledge past wounds, name and honour your boundaries, find your voice, and move through life with more self-compassion and psycho-emotional tools.
I have avid experience working with marginalized populations and welcome all individuals seeking support with open arms!
