ABOUT JOSEPHINE
Hi, I’m a homeschooling mom of 4 precious girls, wife to a wonderful man, and a lover of Jesus! You’ll find me playing volleyball and adventuring with my family across the Greater Vancouver area.
I have over 14 years of experience working with students and youth through the crucial years of self-discovery and identity formation. When I became a mother, my interests and research transitioned to marriage, parenting and raising kind and well-adjusted children.
With my history and family as my first priority, I’ve naturally gravitated towards childhood trauma, parenting, family conflicts, burnout, grief & loss, anxiety, and spiritual direction.
More about me
MY STORY
I’ve been there.
I’ve lost a parent, a baby, cut ties with an abusive parent, grieved the death of a parent, done the hard work of healing all sorts of trauma, learned how to parent, had postpartum anxiety and depression, suffered major depression, lost friends, gone through some health scares, been through some really tough marital years, had several identity crises…
We all have our stories. We all experience different seasons of our lives where a little help and support would really make the challenges we face just that much more manageable.
That’s why I studied counselling. I wanted to show care, support, and compassion to others the way I needed it.
Those challenging seasons shaped me in ways I can be thankful for after I did the healing work.
I believe that when we become painfully aware of our brokenness, we are on the precipice of exponential growth and transformation.
My attitude towards counselling is healing the heart and tending to the soul. My intention is to walk around in your soul to help you discover what’s being held onto that might need some guidance to navigate.
My hope is that every person I meet with experiences encounters compassion and empathy that empowers them through any challenging life season.
“We don’t ‘get over’ the deepest pains of life, nor should we. ‘Are you over it?’ is a question that cannot be asked by someone who has been through ‘it’, whatever ‘it’ is. It is an anxious question, and asking for reassurance that cannot be given. During an average lifetime there are many pains, many griefs to be borne. We don’t ‘get over’ them; we learn to live with them, to go on growing and deepening, and understanding, as Joseph understood, that God can come into all pain and make something creative out of it.” - Madeleine L’Engle
