Hi, I’m Saffron.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. My approach to therapy is holistic, trauma-informed, relational and integrates evidence-based practices, including:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Advanced Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT)

  • Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory & Neuro-Biology Principles

Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncomfortable with yourself or others? Maybe you want to strengthen your emotional regulation skills, silence the inner critic, improve relationship dynamics, or move past traumatic experiences?

I believe one of the most important foundations of an effective counselling experience is the connection, trust, and safety that you feel with your therapist. I recognize this can take time, energy, and looks different for everyone, so I strive to ensure we find the safety you need together.

Common areas I work with are perfectionism, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-worth, highly sensitive people & first responders.

I believe we all can heal, grow, and flourish.
