Being human can be both painfully difficult and stunningly beautiful all at once. In the counselling space, I, Sharaya, value journeying alongside people as they make space for this "both/and" reality - where opposite feelings or experiences can exist together. Sometimes it’s not about choosing one over the other, but letting “and” replace “but,” because often both are true. I welcome the wrestle and exploration that this language brings, and all of who you are, too. I would love for you to come and find solace in our sessions, as we journey together towards more clarity, a greater sense of self, feeling more at home in your body, and uncovering what makes you, you. There is real power in being understood and having someone honor the experiences that have shaped us. It would be a privilege and a joy to bear witness to your humanity and story as I sit across from you as a human, too.

 

I operate from an attachment-based, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed framework, and I enjoy working with individuals from mid-teens (16+) to older adulthood, pre-marital and married couples, and families. 

 

My training and education revolve around life transitions, trauma, illness, relational conflict, anxiety, and grief. I welcome people of all faith or no faith backgrounds, and for those who would like, I have training in integrating the Christian faith with counselling. 

 

I am a registered clinical counsellor with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Trinity Western University. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about my services. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can discuss your current counselling needs as well as my approach, to ensure my services are a good fit for what you are looking for before diving into formal sessions. I would be honored to hear from you.
