💫 Healing begins with connection — and we’ve expanded our website to reflect just that.

You’ll now find new sections highlighting our team, therapy services, and a growing collection of resources.

We designed the site as a welcoming space, reflecting our values of compassion, attunement, and growth.

As a group practice specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), we’re committed to reducing stigma and offering compassionate, trauma-informed care across B.C.

We’re so excited to share that Chiron Centre for Mental Health & Trauma has grown from a private practice into a collaborative group practice.

Our expansion reflects a shared vision: to create a space where individuals, couples, youth, families, and groups across British Columbia who are healing from borderline personality disorder (BPD) and Complex PTSD can access compassionate, validating, and empathic care.

Our team integrates a range of evidence-based therapies—including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)—tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.

Grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based, and attachment-focused frameworks, we strive to offer care that is warm, attuned, and non-stigmatizing.

Rooted in both professional training and lived experience, our clinicians walk alongside clients as witnesses and “wounded healers,” honouring the courage it takes to heal and grow.

If our approach resonates with you, reach out — visit www.chironcentre.ca to learn more or to book a complimentary consult today.

Why Chiron?

Known as the “wounded healer,” Chiron represents our core wounds and our ability to turn that pain into healing. Chiron is one of the most complex and misunderstood symbols. First discovered in 1977 by astronomer Charles T. Kowal, Chiron is classified as a minor planet and a comet.

Chiron represents the deep sources of pain, suffering, and wounding in our life. It’s our soft spot; the part of us that feels wounded, sensitive, and vulnerable.

That being said, Chiron isn’t just about pain. It represents the great potential we have to heal ourselves and others through our own painful experiences and turn them into individual and collective healing.

The symbol for Chiron is shaped like a key, and that key is what unlocks your healing potential. I am a wounded healer. Personally, I have experienced trauma and many dark nights of the soul in my life. By embracing the darkness of my painful experiences, my wounds are now wisdom.

As the Founder and Clinical Director of Chiron Centre, my mission is to provide quality, professional, evidence-based clinical services to British Columbians who are living with complex mental health concerns, as well as offering collaborative trauma-informed counselling services through the lens of attachment theory.

From a very young age, I knew my purpose was to be a “helper”. I’ve dedicated my life to fighting social injustices, learning therapeutic modalities, and holding space. Between my formal education, training, and lived experiences, I offer a unique perspective as a healer and witness to support folks on their journey.

I bring passion, radical genuineness, and empathy to supporting folks living with Borderline Personality Disorder, Complex PTSD, Attachment Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Dissociative Disorders, Substance Abuse Disorders, and various mental health, substance use, and trauma concerns.

Let’s unlock your healing potential, together. Contact me today to book a free consultation.
