Practice information:

My name is Rié,

I am a therapist and social worker, as well as animal lover, photographer, outdoor adventurer, book reader, and the list goes on.

I went to school at the University of British Columbia where I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees in social work with a focus in mental health.

I have been interested in mental health for as long as I can remember. My own experiences growing up as well as those with family and friends has fueled my dreams of opening my own counselling practice that is open to all folks and all conversations. The Nook is a safe space for us to work through whatever brings you in.

I strongly believe a client-centered and culturally sensitive lens is crucial in practice. That means getting to know you and moving at a pace that feels safe and collaborative in order for you to explore emotions and possibilities for the future. I will be there alongside you as you work through life's challenges and take control of your story.  I will never force my agenda of what I think you should be doing; that is a process that we can work on together.

In my practice I draw on various modalities to create a personalized experience; these include CBT, DBT, Narrative, Solution-Focused, EFIT and EMDR. If you are curious about any of these or have questions, please reach out to me by email or through my website. I would love to chat with you!
