I’m Patricia (she/her), a neurodivergent counsellor supporting youth, individuals, couples, and families through grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions. I hold a strong commitment to uplifting BIPOC communities and working alongside people navigating chronic pain, disability, depression, or loss. Much of my work focuses on reducing isolation and fostering spaces of belonging for disabled and marginalized communities.
I also have extensive experience supporting caregivers, siblings, and families navigating complex medical journeys, including rare disease diagnoses. I understand how these experiences can deeply impact family systems, identity, and emotional well-being.
My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered. I use an integrative framework that incorporates somatic and experiential practices such as mindfulness, meditation, movement, and creative expression, always guided by collaboration, consent, and client pace.
While these are areas where I have particular experience, I work collaboratively with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including:
Families navigating rare disease diagnoses
Grief and loss
BIPOC and global majority identities
ADHD and neurodivergence
Anxiety and depression
Trauma and intergenerational healing
Family systems and relational dynamics
Professional Training include:
EMDR (in progress)
Bachelor of Health Sciences
Bachelor of Nutritional Sciences
Founder, Damian’s Project Society
1000-hour Certified Yoga Instructor
On a more personal note, I’m a cisgender, non-disabled, neurodivergent, second-generation immigrant and a settler based in Vancouver, BC on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations for the last 20 years.
