 If you feel like you keep running into the same wall — the same fights, the same stress, the same habits that you promised yourself you’d break — you’re not alone. A lot of men carry the weight silently and think they should “just figure it out” on their own, but that pressure is exactly what keeps everything bottled up.

My work focuses on helping men understand why these patterns keep repeating, and how to get unstuck without shame or judgment. Whether it shows up as stress, anger, anxiety, shutdown, relationship strain, or feeling like you’re not living up to your own potential, there is always something underneath the surface that is asking to be understood. You don’t need to have the perfect words or a polished story — you just need a place where you don’t have to keep pretending everything is fine.

I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

Hi there, my name is Anna and I am a holistic counselor interested in reducing disconnection in our communities; I think this is something important for men and boys. My clients have described me as warm, compassionate, humorous, grounding, accepting, assertive and direct.

My offerings includes individual counseling and group counseling. I pursue ongoing training in working with trauma on the individual, group and institutional levels.

In order to maintain high professional and ethical standards of care, I receive ongoing clinical supervision and attend a peer professional consult group based in the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; a body-based talk therapy.
Outside work, you can find me with family and friends, hiking and patronising the arts.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

We all need an outlet outside of family, friends and work to open-up about issues that need clarification. We can collaborate on solutions, and come up with ideas. Counselling often helps in dealing with problems that are bringing us down, and we feel holding us back from progressing in life.
My approach is influenced by person-centered theory using techniques from Solution Focused Therapy. I do not focus a great deal on emotions or get stuck in the past. Instead, I work on current behaviors, and where you want to go from here by breaking down what is holding you back.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a humanistic, client-centred framework, where compassion, authenticity, and collaboration will guide the work we do together. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help clients develop insight into their challenges, build emotional resilience, and create change. Above all, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

I am humbled to have been working in the helping field since 2003. During this time, I have walked alongside many people as they navigate life, deal with hardships, and persevere. I see my role in supporting you as holding space for your hurt and distress while also assisting you in finding the change you hope to see within yourself and the relationships around you. I strive to create a partnership of trust and support and to shine a light on your strength and capacity. Typically, people come to see me because life is hard, but counselling does not need to be. I infuse our time together with hope, and laughter. A little bit about me is that I am a partner, father, weekend athlete and outdoor enthusiast.

It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!

Think of me as your emotional coach. I’ll help you understand and communicate emotions; stop bottling up and suppressing feelings; manage anxiety and anger; get unstuck from helplessness and depression; stop people-pleasing and boost your self-esteem. If you tried counselling but haven’t uncovered core issues, your progress plateaued, or didn’t gain anything from it and you wish to achieve deep, lasting changes in your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, then you are ready to stop talking in circles and start tackling your problems head-on to make real progress.
I will intentionally help you pause and slow things down to explore the underlying processes that are keeping you stuck in unhelpful cycles/patterns. Together we will make a tangible plan to break the cycles, process traumas, practice strategies to support yourself outside of session, and ensure you are continuously improving in your life and relationships.
Overall, my skills and experience enable me to support you in achieving emotional wellbeing, integrity, empathy, and connection with yourself and others. The first step toward change is always the hardest, yet once that step has been made, I believe everyone has the innate capacity for positive transformation. I am here to help you remove the barriers.
Sessions offered both online and in-person at 214-3001 Tutt Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2H4. I provide direct billing for: RCMP, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), FNHA, and Pacific Blue Cross.

You don’t have to carry this all on your own. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering a space of refuge and belonging for men navigating shame, stress, disconnection, and self-doubt. If you feel stuck in emotional or relational patterns, overwhelmed or shut down inside, longing for connection but unsure how to feel safe in it – you’re not alone.

My practice is grounded in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and self-compassion. I work beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging the body and mind to support clients in moving beyond survival patterns into a more connected sense of self. While I support many queer and questioning clients, my practice is open to all men. A free consult is here for you when the time is right.
