About
May works from a trauma-informed, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach, prioritizing emotional safety, trust, and collaboration. She strives to create a supportive space where clients can move at their own pace while exploring thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences, particularly those shaped by stress, adversity, or trauma.
Drawing on her previous experience as a Special Education Assistant, she brings a practical, strengths-based, and behaviorally informed approach to her work with neurodivergent individuals. When working with couples, she integrates principles from the Gottman Method through supporting emotional attunement, communication, and repair.
Counselling isn’t only for the hardest moments. For many people, it becomes a steady practice, like exercise or a regular check-in with a trusted mentor. It’s a space to keep growing, notice your patterns, and build a relationship with yourself that deepens over time.
Before becoming a counsellor, May spent years as a Special Education Assistant with the North Vancouver School District, walking alongside young people through some of their most challenging moments. That work taught her that lasting change rarely happens in a single conversation. It grows through consistency, trust, and practical, grounded support that fits each person.
You might be under pressure to figure out your future while still trying to understand who you are right now. You might feel anxious in ways you can’t quite name, or find yourself stuck in friendships that leave you drained. You might be carrying family expectations, cultural pressures, or a sense that you don’t quite belong anywhere. These aren’t things that resolve overnight, and they don’t have to. Each session builds on the last, so you can go deeper at your own pace.
In sessions, there’s no pressure, and no judgment. You work on what matters most to you, whether that’s managing anxiety, navigating relationships, building confidence, or simply having a place to think out loud. As your needs change, the work changes with you.
For young people caught between cultures: if you’re balancing family expectations with the world you’re growing up in, May brings both professional experience and personal understanding. Identity isn’t something you settle once. Having consistent support through each new stage can make the journey feel less lonely.
For couples: Strong relationships aren’t built by fixing problems once, but by continuing to invest in them. Even the healthiest couples can slip into cycles of miscommunication, distance, or conflict. Together, May helps you look at the patterns beneath the arguments, the unspoken needs, the moments of disconnection, and the ways each of you has learned to love and to protect yourself, and gives you tools to keep your connection strong over time.
Ready to make space for yourself? Whether you’re navigating something difficult or simply want to keep growing, you’re welcome to reach out.
May is honoured to help you live your most authentic story, and she looks forward to connecting with you.
