M.A. RCC
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. In life’s journey, we often encounter crossroads that can feel daunting to navigate alone. Let me extend a warm invitation for us to embark on a path of self-discovery, healing, and growth together. My goal is to offer you a welcoming and supportive space, free from judgment, where your thoughts and feelings can unfold naturally. Whether you’re weathering the storms of stress, seeking clarity amidst life’s complexities, or simply yearning for a compassionate ear, I’m here to accompany you.
My approach is rooted in emotionally focused and feminist theories, meaning we’ll explore your world through the lenses of emotions and relationships. I also prioritize being trauma-informed, acknowledging that our past experiences shape our present, and I’m here to assist you on that journey. I’ve worked with clients ranging from ages 13 to 80 and had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including queer folks, those experiencing grief, immigrants, refugees, and trauma survivors. My expertise lies in childhood and attachment trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, relationships, immigrants’ issues, and spirituality.
Think of our sessions as cozy and safe spaces where we can chat, laugh, and work through whatever challenges life throws your way. Whether you’re navigating relationships, healing from the past, or striving for personal growth, know that we are in this together.

Elizabeth Koch
I work with people experiencing stubborn problems. If you’re struggling to find a sense of well-being in your life, you may feel chronically unwell, and disconnected from your core sense of self. You might find yourself relying on unfulfilling coping strategies, or caught in patterns that lead you back to the same point, again and again. You might find yourself clutched by painful memories from the past, or gripped by endless worrying about the future. You may have experienced tumultuous relationships, or struggled to find people who care about you in the ways you want to be cared for. You may long to fulfill your vision of a happy life, bringing completion to old chapters, and beginning to write fresh new ones.
At the heart of my practice is the knowledge that we all inherently possess what we need to be well. Whether you’re looking to uncover a more nuanced understanding of your inner self, develop tools for meaningful and lasting change, or simply to be heard and appreciated by another person – I’m here with you! Working together, we can make space for you to explore and make sense of your distinctive experience, at the pace that is right for you.
Drawing from a range of therapeutic methods, I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, preferences and aspirations, while holding a deep acceptance and appreciation for who you are, and whatever you bring to the time we share. The work may not always be easy, but it can be freeing, exciting and transformative.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with issues such as grief and loss, self-esteem, relationships and boundary setting, depression, anxiety, caregiver burnout, adjusting to life with chronic illness, eating disorders and major life and cultural transitions.
In my counselling approach, collaboration is key, recognizing that clients are the true experts of their lives. Grounded in anti-oppressive principles and a trauma informed lens, I extend a warm invitation to people from all walks of life. I draw from a range of orientations such as Adlerian, IFS and Gestalt therapy. I also enjoy incorporating creative practices such as art and music in sessions.
Everyone’s healing journey is different, and I believe in helping clients explore what works best for their unique path. I am deeply committed to fostering authentic connections and facilitating transformative journeys within a therapeutic framework. Having been helped by therapy myself, I understand what it feels like to bring out your most vulnerable self and I strive to create a nurturing space for all individuals.
Having lived in India, Italy, and now Vancouver, I bring a multicultural perspective to my practice. I continue to stand for social justice, creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. I speak multiple languages and I am open to conducting sessions in English, Hindi and Gujarati.
