About Aimee
I acknowledge that I live and work as an uninvited guest on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), SÉ™lÌ“ílwÉ™taÊ”/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xÊ·mÉ™θkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam) Nations.
​
Hello and welcome. I will walk alongside you as a supportive ally in your healing and self-discovery, meeting you where you are and holding your experiences with curiosity and care. Together, we may navigate overwhelming experiences (such as trauma), mental health challenges, substance use, and stress-related concerns. My relational, person-centered approach creates a welcoming and inclusive space where you feel seen, heard, and known. Drawing on my experience to foster genuine connection, I aim to build trust and support you in advocating for your needs.
Experiential and somatic approaches, including nervous system exploration, are woven into my practice to support body regulation, healing, and the movement toward secure attachment. I am trained in EMDR, Lifespan Integration (LI Level 3), and incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 2), grounding my work in polyvagal and attachment theory. My approach is body-centered, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, guided by a deep belief in our innate capacity to heal and grow.
​
Prior to private practice, I dedicated 15 years to public education, frontline mental health, and substance use services, which provided a foundation for my work in the field of counselling.
Therapeutic Approaches: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Lifespan Integration (LI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal and Attachment Theories. I work from an Anti-Oppressive, Relational-Cultural, and Trauma-Informed perspective.
