My name is Heather and I am a Registered Professional Counsellor with the CPCA and a member of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. Your first step of reaching out for counselling can be a difficult one and yet opens you up to experience positive change. As a counsellor, I aim to be a compassionate companion, walking alongside you on your journey of healing by creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. I aim to counsel with compassion, and connection and create space for change and growth.

I am a long-time resident of North Vancouver, BC, and my passion and purpose in life have been helping others. I enjoy connecting with people and listening from a place of kindness and compassion, with the hope of continuing to create and contribute to our community, a space for supporting one's journey and overall well-being. My educational background and work experience consist of having worked in the medical field in the following areas: pediatric lab/pathology, radiology, and long-term care. In addition, I have studied and worked in the social work field and early childhood education. In 2019, I was diagnosed with several autoimmune conditions that resulted in my retirement as a medical laboratory assistant; but I remained in the healthcare field in an administrative role in radiology and long-term care. It was during my time there; that I began reflecting and realized just how much I missed working with people directly and decided to stay in the helping field and pursue a career as a Counsellor.

Upon my return to school, I discovered just how passionate I am about clinical counselling, and it has passionately called out to me, allowing for personal growth while being a resource to others.
