You’re the one everyone counts on. The responsible one, the peacekeeper, the one who “just handles it.” And somewhere along the way you’ve become anxious, a little resentful, and not totally sure who you are when you’re not taking care of everyone else..

​

That’s not a personality flaw. It’s what happens when you’ve been holding it together for too long.

​

I’m Tanya, a counsellor in Vancouver. In sessions, I’m real, relaxed, and easy to talk to. We’ll talk honestly about what’s going on, the patterns you keep repeating, and what you actually want your life to look like.

​

What we might work on:

• Anxiety, overthinking, and a nervous system that’s always on guard

• Family stuff: old roles, high expectations, and the guilt that comes with changing them

• Relationships, boundaries, and communication

• Resentment and guilt, especially toward family (and everyone telling you to be grateful)

• Figuring out who you are and what you want

• Burnout, grief, and big life transitions

​

How I work:

I blend CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, so we work with both the stories you tell yourself and what your body is doing when anxiety hits.

​

What to expect:

Therapy isn’t a quick fix, and I won’t promise to “get rid of” your anxiety. What I can offer is a place to understand where it comes from, change how you relate to it, and build more trust in yourself. Most people start noticing shifts within a few weeks, and we’ll check in regularly on whether it’s working.

​

Real change takes consistency, so I recommend planning for at least 8 sessions to start.
