Hello, I'm Rayen (she/her). I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of British Columbia and later completed a Master of Clinical Social Work. Additionally, I have completed numerous courses through the Westland Academy of Clinical Sex Therapy and attended Narrative Therapy training through the Vancouver School for Narrative Therapy, which has enriched my understanding of diverse sexual health and relationship challenges. Over the past two decades, I've worked in the social service sector, walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate their unique journeys.

I believe in the importance of human connection and that creating a safe space for healing are deeply interconnected. Recognizing the vulnerability that often accompanies difficult moments, I strive to provide an environment where individuals feel validated and empowered. I work within a holistic therapy model, prioritizing personalized support tailored to each client's unique needs, and I believe in addressing the whole person—acknowledging that mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being are interconnected.

My therapeutic approach emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, guiding clients to explore their strengths and navigate challenges with resilience. I am committed to fostering an inclusive and affirming atmosphere for individuals of all identities and backgrounds, creating a space where exploration and growth can flourish.
