Meet Alisha.
I’m so happy you’re here! I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Surrey, BC, and I consider it an honour to support women in the Lower Mainland and online across the province. It’s one of my greatest joys to care for women who are struggling and experiencing pain and disconnection in their lives. Through my own journey of healing past trauma and reconnecting to myself, I’ve become passionate about nurturing and empowering women as they lean into their healing and wellness.
Outside the therapy office, I’m a wife, a mama of three, an Enneagram 9, and an ocean-lover. Books make me happy, I’m forever learning something new, and spending quality time with my people fills my cup.
How I Can Help
Using a trauma-informed, emotion-focused framework, I’ll tailor my work with you to your unique needs, often weaving in body-based interventions designed to connect with your emotions and help you feel more at home with yourself. Some of the areas I specialize in include anxiety and depression, grief and loss, challenges around life transitions and evolving identity, family-of-origin exploration, relationships, and trauma. With warmth and empathy, my hope is that you’ll find a soft, safe space to land when we’re together. I can’t wait to meet you!
MY TRAINING +
I hold a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trinity Western University, and I am licensed with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (#12666). I work from a trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and person-centred lens, which means that you, your feelings, and your past experiences deeply matter to me as we work toward your healing.
I have received additional training in Satir Transformational System Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Neufeld's Attachment Theory, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). These modalities influence and guide the way in which I approach my work, as I collaborate with you in tailoring your sessions to fit your needs.

How does virtual therapy work?
Online sessions are perfect for you if getting to my office in Surrey is a challenge. We'll connect on video through Jane, a secure and user-friendly online platform. All you need is a webcam and a strong WiFi connection. Before your session, a link to our call will be emailed to you, so no downloads are needed.
What's your cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Please note that cancellations after 24 hours or missed appointments will result in a full session fee being charged.
