Individual Counselling · Vancouver, BC

Whatever brought you here matters enough to do something about it.

Most people who come here have already tried figuring it out. That's usually what makes them ready.

Individual counselling that works underneath the surface, helping you understand what's been driving the pattern and giving you something concrete to work with
Most people we work with have been carrying something for a while and haven't been able to get to the bottom of it on their own.
"I should be able to figure this out by now."
"I used to handle pressure better than this."
"Maybe I just need to push through it."
"Everyone else seems to be managing fine."
If any of that has crossed your mind, you're not alone in it.
Thoughts like those don't usually arrive on their own. They tend to show up when something has been affecting more of your life than you've been willing to name.

What brings people here

Common starting points for clients who work with me

How I Work

The presenting issue is rarely the whole picture.

Most of what brings people to therapy is a symptom of something that runs deeper. That's where the work is focused.

You likely already have some understanding of what's going on. What's harder to see from the inside is how the pattern developed, why it keeps recurring, and what's been maintaining it despite your efforts to change it.

That's where the work happens. I'll notice things you've stopped noticing because you're too close to them. I'll ask questions that cut through the story you've already told yourself. And I'll be honest about what I'm seeing, because most people who sit across from me are done being told what they want to hear.

I draw from CBT, ACT, IFS, and narrative therapy. What people tend to remember isn't the method. It's that the conversation went somewhere they didn't expect, and that something they'd been carrying for a long time started to make a different kind of sense.

How our work together unfolds

A clear path from first call to ongoing work

01

Free intro call

20 minutes. You tell me what's been going on. I tell you how I'd approach it. You decide if it feels right. No commitment.

02

First session

80 minutes. This is an assessment. We go through your history, your patterns, and what you've already tried. You leave with a clearer sense of what we're actually working on.

03

Ongoing sessions

50 minutes, weekly or biweekly. This is where the work builds. Each session is focused on what's active for you, within the larger pattern we've identified.

04

Review & adjust

Periodically we step back and look at what's shifting and what needs more attention. The work changes as you do.

I didn't even realize how far I'd checked out. I was going through the motions, just hoping something would shift. Working with Isi helped me feel like a real version of myself again.

I used to react out of nowhere. I'd either snap or shut down. Now I catch myself and respond differently. My relationship feels safer, for both of us.

I finally stopped feeling like everything was on me. I didn't need to explain everything. I just needed someone to help me sort it through, one step at a time.
