I'm Shay

I'm a registered clinical counsellor based in Port Alberni, BC. I take a very human approach, using humour, a calm demeanor and never judging. 

I have worked as a grief specialist for 5 years, supporting folks facing their last days as well as helping hold the impact on those around them. 

I am also a mom and have taken extra training to support other moms and families who have experienced perinatal loss, which means there is no such thing as a TMI. 


Additionally, I love working with women professionals who are struggling to find a work/life balance that works for them and may be feeling the effects of burnout. 


I feel immensely honoured to hold space for people in their most vulnerable moments, as well as to cheer them on when healing begins.
