“The idea of overcoming is always fascinating to me. It’s fascinating because few of us realize how much energy we have expended just to be here today. I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for the overcoming.”

– Maya Angelou

Esther’s Personal Approach to Counselling

Esther’s warm approach to counselling is rooted in a belief that you matter. By building a safe and trusting relationship with clients, she aims to help them feel understood and welcomed on a heart-level, releasing clients’ inner abilities to heal and grow.

Counselling with Esther is collaborative! She works with clients to build upon their strengths and invites lots of curiosity and gentleness to explore wounds and uncover new paths forward. From a relational and trauma-informed perspective, she prioritizes building safety and tangible skills so clients can courageously confront pain.

Esther believes it’s an honour to be invited into people’s stories and she adapts therapy to clients’ needs and preferences, using emotion-focused, somatic, cognitive, and experiential techniques to involve the many parts that make us all human. She prioritizes balancing the complexity of human experience with the simplicity of authenticity.

As a first-generation immigrant of colour with years of experience as a teacher, Esther experienced her own healing while navigating marginalization and under-resourced systems and she is committed to supporting others’ journeys of resistance, self-compassion, and empowerment.

Esther welcomes diverse clients of all backgrounds, orientations, and beliefs. Compelled by the innate resourcefulness and resilience of clients, she is excited to help you overcome what feels hopeless. Together, you can tend to your wounds and breathe new blooms into life.
