I will journey alongside you in your self-discovery, transformation, and healing. I can provide a deep understanding due to having gone through my own healing journey from experiences such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. This gives me the ability to provide a deep level of empathy. My passion is to help others through dark and difficult times with deep compassion. It is your journey and being there walking alongside you is a great honour to me.   I know reaching out for support can be an intimidating process. I create a safe space for my clients to share their most deep inner thoughts, emotions and experiences. It will only take at most a few sessions to feel connected and safe in a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your feelings, experiences and pain with deep compassion and understanding.

I’ve always been interested in what makes people tick. After watching Kiss the Girls with Morgan Freeman, I knew I wanted to be a Forensic Psychologist. That didn’t happen. However, I stayed connected to my passion. I studied psychology formally and informally, which helped with my own growth and understanding of myself and those around me. I identified my triggers and reactions and learned to work through them. Building compassion for self and others. Allowing me to overcome the environment I grew up in. Using my years of study, I can help others in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way, enabling their self-growth to happen much faster than mine.

It took experiencing suicide grief for me to come to terms with all of my issues and finally seek the therapy that I needed. After being knocked off of what I thought was my life path, It was a natural and holistic process to move into a counselling role to help others with their own healing journey.

As an RTC and Ericksonian Hypnotherapist , I bring personal experience with complex trauma (rape, physical and emotional abuse), anxiety, and complex grief (suicide and MAID) to the table as a base of understanding. Being a client-centric professional, I put you first, with empathy and compassion. Whatever your needs are, I offer a safe and gentle environment where you are seen and heard without judgement and where your needs are honoured. You Matter.

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor who believes in the healing power of connection, empathy, and being truly seen and heard. I’ve always been curious about people—why we feel the way we do, what shapes our choices, and how we grow through life’s ups and downs. That curiosity turned into a calling to support others with compassion, understanding, and care.

I studied at Simon Fraser University and the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training, and I now work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I use a mix of talk therapy, creative tools like art-based methods, and proven techniques like CBT and DBT to support emotional healing and personal growth.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore what’s going on in your life—whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or just feeling stuck. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.

To recharge, I love spending time in nature—hiking, camping, and discovering new places. I also enjoy curling up with a good book, traveling to new spots, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

As a counsellor, I use my life experience to connect with my clients. I have lived my own transformation. I learned that the path forward is sometimes tricky and filled with uncertainty. I have always sensed a higher power supporting me. Connecting to this higher power has allowed me to give up my past anxious and frenetic controlling behaviours. I believe my clients find me for a reason, and there is a purpose behind them seeking help from me—so I answer the call, and I show up to support. I encourage others to see the light, the gift, the beauty within themselves.

Marion is a phenomenal relationship counsellor, and if you are looking to take your relationship to a stronger and deeper level she is the one you want to work with.

After decades of thinking that the way to happiness is working hard to change my life circumstances, I was at the point of burnout. I finally went on a transformational journey that took me through inner change—my real awakening. I was able to let down my guard, work through my guilt and pain and be my real, authentic self, which ACTUALLY led to a change in life circumstances that included my happiness. I’m good at helping people access their subconscious messaging, let go of guilt and pain and re-acquaint themselves with their true feelings and instincts.

I grew up thinking people didn’t want me around and that I was fundamentally flawed. I developed walls to protect myself by keeping people at bay. People can’t reject you if you don’t let them get close. This left me alone, exhausted, anxious, depressed and afraid. I knew I had to do something, and in taking a leap of faith to heal myself, I started my journey to become a counsellor. Having broken down my walls and healed my wounds, I want to help other people to do the same. To find their way out of their dark and lonely places and into a more friendly world.

Throughout my life journey, I have encountered profound experiences that have contributed to my personal growth and professional development. From navigating the complexities of family members with mental health challenges and addictions to overcoming the hurdles of sudden loss and divorce, as a young single mother, my path has been marked by resilience and determination. Immigrating to Canada in 2009 further broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the struggles individuals face in pursuit of a better life.

Reflecting on my upbringing, I emerged from a family environment characterized by dysfunction and abuse. Despite the challenges, I made a courageous decision to break free from the constraints of my past and forge a new path forward. Through self-discovery and resilience, I learned that we possess the power to transcend our circumstances and embrace a future filled with growth and possibility.

Growing up with anxiety and depression, I often felt lost and misunderstood. Medication helped manage daily life, but I became curious about other ways to find peace. Discovering Somatic Experiencing gave me hope and inspired me to pursue a Counselling program to create a safe, non-judgmental space for others.

I now understand that our sensations and emotions are messages from our body guiding us toward healing. We don’t always learn to feel our emotions, and sometimes they become overwhelming, leading us to suppress them. There’s nothing wrong with that. What’s needed is acceptance, awareness, and compassion.

You don’t have to do this alone, and that’s what I’m here to help with. My journey led me to Helps Counselling, where I support individuals in finding their path to healing. Integrating personal experiences with professional training, I offer empathy and collaboration to navigate emotional landscapes and develop resilience. Together, we can work towards a more peaceful life.
