I knew from a young age that I had a calling to help people, starting off in a Biology undergraduate, I was always interested in the heart and the brain and the connection between the two. Being exposed to psychology during my undergraduate I soon realized my passion and calling is to help emotionally heal the heart and mind, which I believe is the hardest and most fulfilling way of all.
I am a strong believer in our resilience as human beings and strive to help those struggling to find their way by attentively listening, understanding and providing tools to not only overcome shame, fear, pain and discouragement, but succeed and thrive through growth and change.
I create a non-judgmental environment where I meet clients exactly where they are at in their process using a person-centered approach. I highly value whatever my clients bring to the table being that as human beings our story and paths are as dynamic as we are.
If you are seeking a change in your life, but don’t know quite where to start I would love to help you explore and navigate through whatever is consuming you or holding you back from being the best possible version of yourself.

Online booking is for CURRENT CLIENTS only.
I work with women who feel deeply, overthink, and feel stuck in relational or emotional patterns. Many of my clients experience anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or difficulty feeling secure in relationships.
My approach is human-first, relational, and trauma-informed. Therapy with me is paced, collaborative, and focused on helping you make sense of your experiences in a way that feels safe and grounding. I believe meaningful therapeutic work grows from feeling seen, understood, and met with care.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy and welcome you to book a phone consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.

Hi, I’m Elise, and I’m so glad you’re here to explore counselling as part of your journey. I am a
Registered Clinical Counsellor (#22540) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and
hold a Masters in Counselling from City University of Seattle.
I take a client-centred, attachment-informed, and collaborative approach to counselling. I
primarily work with adults navigating a variety of life challenges, including anxiety, depression,
stress management, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and personal or identity exploration.
As a biracial woman, I draw on my own lived experience of navigating bicultural identity to foster
empathy and understanding. This helps me support clients exploring their own sense of identity,
belonging, and cultural or personal conflicts. In our sessions, I strive to create a warm and
supportive environment where you feel safe to be seen, heard, and understood. I believe that a
strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change.
I take an integrative approach, combining evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy with an
attachment-informed framework and somatic practices, creating strategies and techniques that
are tailored to your unique needs. I’m committed to tailoring our sessions to meet what you’re
looking for, whether that be working toward a specific goal or taking a more exploratory
approach. If you’re considering counselling as a next step, I’d love for you to reach out so we
can explore whether working together is a good fit.

Online booking is for CURRENT CLIENTS only. Simran is preparing for maternity leave and is not accepting new clients at this time.
As a woman of South Asian descent and a person of color, I bring valuable experience in navigating a culturally inclusive approach. My lived experience and growing up in a multicultural society, has given me a unique ability to see cultures from a different viewpoint; both the importance of beliefs & values that come from our cultures, whilst also recognizing the internal conflicts they can cause us as individuals. I sit with clients to meet their diverse needs within the community.
Embarking on the therapeutic journey requires courage and marks a pivotal moment in one’s life. I create a secure, inviting, and non-judgmental environment for my clients. My services are available in both English and Punjabi. The process of healing from trauma and prioritizing mental well-being is continuous, and it would be an honour to work with you and be a part of your healing journey. I invite you to connect for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
