WELCOME
I am here to help, because we can’t always go it alone. I know first hand that it can get overwhelming, even paralyzing, to just be with yourself, in your own head.
I will show up for you so that we can make sense of things together.
Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative, and Trauma-Informed care (including EMDR therapy and Internal Family Systems) are at the core of my services - because I believe that all behaviour comes from somewhere learned or experienced. Even those mistakes you might have made, or those ‘hated behaviours’ you’re still beating yourself up for. And, knowledge is power. I have seen again and again that only until we can identify the ‘why’ behind our challenges - emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, depression, or otherwise - can we then look towards change:
Towards living life in accordance with our values, and being kinder to ourselves when we inevitably falter along the way. We are human after all.
MY NAME IS SASHA
She, Hers
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), holding a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology (MEd) from Simon Fraser University. My training and work (this includes work on myself, of course, as well) has taken place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, also known as Greater Vancouver - out of the privilege of being born here, but also out of a sense of commitment: I see many people struggling and I also know there are ways to lessen that struggle.
Over the past 13 years I have worked in a variety of mental health and social service settings, including SFU Health & Counselling Services, Providence Health Care, and in private counselling practice. I continue to support humans in differing levels of economic stability, those with challenging family dynamics, people with neurodiversity and compromise bodies, and LGBTQ2S + folks.
Above all, I am an ‘open book’, having struggled and in continuous learning myself. Please feel free get in touch with questions.
