Youth & Trauma Therapist

Mary is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#29423) and holds a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Trinity Western University. She assists youth, young adults, and adults in overcoming past trauma, joining them on their path toward healing. Her clinical work focuses on supporting individuals in navigating unresolved wounds of the past, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and relational difficulties.

Life's challenges can sometimes steal our confidence, leaving us feeling lost, alone, or stuck. Mary strongly believes in the innate human capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. By integrating evidence-based practice with authenticity, she seeks to create a compassionate space where you can feel truly heard. Mary would be honoured to walk alongside you as you move beyond suffering and toward living fully, whatever that looks like for you.

Her approach to counselling is relational, experiential, client-centred, and trauma-informed. Mary draws upon Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and somatic practices in her work. She firmly believes that each client is the expert in their own experience, and she seeks to adapt every session to the client’s unique preferences and pace.

Outside the counselling room, Mary enjoys hiking, reading, and scouting out the best local coffee shops. At home, she loves catching up with family and friends, or baking while listening to her favourite music.
