Hi, I’m Mia (she/her)

I see therapy as a space where we can reclaim what has been lost, soften what has been hardened, and make room for agency and healing. I understand healing as something that happens both within us and between us, deeply rooted in the health of our communities. I hold a Master's degree in Counselling and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Victoria, BC.

Our work together is grounded in the belief that you are human beyond and within any diagnosis or label, and that your lived experience deserves to be met with respect, curiosity, and care. In our sessions, all parts of you are welcome. Your story matters. Your humanity matters. My practice is trauma‑informed and neuro‑affirming, grounded in keeping you at the heart of our work. Together, we explore the tender, the complex, the unknown, and the hard - so that you can move toward a life where hope and joy feel not only tangible, but deserved.

My own lived experiences - as a refugee, as someone affected by intergenerational trauma, as a neurodiverse individual - shape my commitment to understanding how our stories are influenced by systems of power. My background as a clinical nutritionist in eating‑disorder recovery continues to inform my holistic, mind‑body lens in the therapy room. These threads come together in a practice that weaves evidence‑based approaches with the complexity of your story and the wisdom of your body. It is a privilege to walk alongside you as you move toward greater connection and meaning.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m often learning, listening, and continuing my lifelong curiosity about people’s stories. You’ll find me with a book in hand, scouting whales from a cliffside, exploring new trails around the island, and wandering local markets for something delicious. I look forward to connecting!
