Helping you create a life & relationships that are healthy and healing, joyful and rewarding.

Professional counselling services for individuals and couples in the Sea-to-Sky and virtually across Canada.

When you look out to the horizon of your life, what do you see?

What do you want to see? Let’s get you there.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Olessia and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor supporting individuals and couples with relational and personal challenges that are in the way of the life they want for themselves.

Truthfully, I have yet to meet a person who has a rich life and depth of character who had it easy. I believe that our challenges are guiding lights to rediscovering our greatness and experiencing life more fully, so that one day we may proudly look back and say,

“Wow, what a journey this life has been!”

My Approach

Because each of us is unique, I practice from an Integrative & Collaborative approach to meet your individual needs and goals (hopes) for our therapeutic relationship… and life.

I bring a calm, warm, and non-judgmental energy to my practice to create a safe space for us to explore areas that matter to you and see how we can shift things to a place that feels a little lighter, brighter, and more meaningful.

Whatever your challenges, I welcome all of you.
