About
I’m Steph (she/they). I’m a cisgender, queer, Latinx, uninvited settler living on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, which includes the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō, and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and approved First Nations Health Authority provider.
I see counselling as an opportunity to walk beside folx, co-creating safety and dignity as they navigate their healing journeys and call in their own wisdom. I believe my role is one of facilitating and collaborating, and that each client brings their own expertise, gifts, and the seeds for resilience. I have experience working alongside QTIBIPoC, politicized folx using a trauma-informed, social justice based, and integrative approach.
My offerings are informed by intersectional feminism and rooted in the belief that this work can be deeply liberatory. I want to affirm folx as they dream of new possibilities and collect the tools to enact the changes they seek. I’m also passionate about anti-oppressive work and the ways counselling and social justice fuel and inform each other. Both in my counselling work and in my personal life, I aim to centre justice and equity, and hold space for individual and community healing. I also recognize that doing so requires ongoing learning, unlearning, and the ability to stand back and listen. I hope we can do some of this together.
In my spare time, I enjoy being in the ocean, making playlists for all my moods, and spending time in my East Van neighbourhood. These days you can usually find me in a sunny spot reading a book and nuzzling the neighbourhood cat. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
