The Mind Place

Hi, I'm Bria. I hold a Master of Counselling and am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. As a late-diagnosed autistic therapist, I'm passionate about helping neurodivergent people better understand themselves and make sense of their inner world.

Many of my clients come to therapy while navigating burnout, identity shifts, unmasking, boundary setting, and the lasting emotional impact of years of feeling misunderstood both in their personal lives and conventional therapeutic settings. My approach is neuro-affirming, grounded in lived experience, and rooted in compassion. I integrate psychoeducation with practical tools and strategies that clients can apply in their everyday lives, empowering them to better understand their experiences and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Your hour is never met with expectations to mask, make eye contact, sit still, or monitor your words. Together we will create an environment that is conducive with your comfortability, well-being, and growth.

My goal is to support clients in building lives that feel authentic, manageable, and aligned with who they truly are.

Personal Interests:

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy staying active, spending time in nature, and exploring my creative side. Whether I'm practicing yoga, running, biking, weightlifting, hiking, or camping, I value movement as a way to support both physical and mental well-being.

I also love creating with my hands, whether that's sewing, embroidery, weaving, painting, baking, gardening, or tackling a new LEGO build. You'll often find me with a good book or a puzzle nearby, too.

Travel has also been an important part of my life. I've explored parts of North, Central, and South America as well as Europe, and spend as much time as I can visiting family in British Columbia, and treasure the time I get to spend with my nieces and nephew!
