I’m an experienced family therapist that has worked as a clinician and clinical supervisor for over 20 years in the area mental health including both public and private settings.

We are all embodied, relational beings at our core - we are hard-wired this way. In order to shift the patterns that we are stuck in and move through our pain, I believe we are required to connect deeply and find integration within all the parts of ourselves. The health and integrity of our most sacred relationships depends on this, including the relationship you have with yourself. For this reason, I think we are best served when we work intentionally with the healing power of the body and always with the significance of our attachment relationships in mind.

I understand the complexity involved in finding effective, heart-centred solutions to our daily struggles. As a person that embraces my own imperfection, I feel that I bring practicality, integrity and a compassionate presence to the therapeutic relationship.

Having extensive experience working with children, I believe in cultivating a therapeutic space in which children feel seen, heard and respected. Approaching my work with children from a child-centered play therapy lens, I specialize in supporting children in the early years and middle childhood. I believe children can heal through the power of play via sensory regulation techniques, dramatic play, storytelling and expressive art inspired activities.

My approach will help children process and gain the tools to move through their challenging moments in a safe, validating environment which encourages them to thrive.

Hi, I’m Viktoriya.

I’m an Adult Therapist and a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #15781) with a Masters of Counselling Psychology from UBC.

My guiding principle and deepest desire in counselling therapy is the creation of safety in our relationship. More than any technique I may use, my hope is that you feel deeply understood and seen in our interactions. This is the basis of our work together.

For the last decade, I have worked in mental health programs across Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and Fraser Health including adult and family therapy, crisis intervention, group-based programs, and inpatient/outpatient eating disorders programs.

I work with adults from all areas and stages of life who want their lives to look different from their current reality. I draw from systemic approaches (meaning we’ll likely talk about you in relation to your family, community and society as a whole); from Emotion-Focused Therapy (helping you identify, process, and cope with difficult emotions), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT, which can help shift your thinking, target distress tolerance, and help build a life worth living). As every human is unique and our difficulties arise from various factors, I aim to tie in principles and theory from various roots in a way that I believe makes sense for you personally. Most importantly, I am a Trauma-Informed Therapist and heavily rely on the principles of empowerment and choice in my work.

At times when we seek counselling, we aren’t totally sure what the ‘problem’ is, we just know our current realities don’t feel fully fulfilling. Other times, we can identify what the ‘issue’ may be, but feel stuck around how to move forward. Counselling therapy is effective in both scenarios, and works to bring both insight and solutions into an individual’s life. If you’re here, there’s likely an area of your life that you would like to see be different. This may be your relationship with yourself or others, your daily experience of anxiety, depression or eating issues, your struggle in making sense of your past, or the ongoing effects trauma. Perhaps you are a family member of someone struggling with mental health.

I’m here to help and have journeyed with many people through the challenges that the human experience brings. Let’s use our time together to bridge the gap between your current reality and a more fulfilling future.
