About Angel
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I’ll locate myself here in this first paragraph and then tell you a bit about what it might look like to work together and finish with a snapshot of counselling influences and personal interests. I am a queer, Egyptian-German/Canadian settler living and working on the stolen homelands of the the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Qayqayt (Key-Kite), Stz'uminus (Sha-main-us), S'ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwee-Kwet-Lum) Nations. I was born and raised in central (colloquially known as “Northern”) British Columbia for most of my life and moved further south upon graduating high school. I graduated with my Masters of Counselling at the end of 2021 and have been working in the field since.
You’re looking for support in navigating hardships or discovering new opportunities for growth. You’re hoping to understand something better or maybe you’re aiming to make some changes in your life. I can support you in your journey by being a curious guide who recognizes that you’re the sole expert of your life. Even if things feel murky right now, you’re the best person to support yourself because you're the only one who has lived your life. I would like to work alongside you during your healing and connection journey. I describe my work as helping people help themselves because I know you have the power to help yourself just by the fact that you’re reading this right now.
Identities, Experiences, and Diagnoses I work well with:
People of the Global Majority (BIPOC)
Queer/LGBTQ2S+
Polyamory/Open/Monogamous Relationships
People who work in the sex industry
People who uses substances
Survivors of sexual assault (Adult & Childhood)

Trauma
BPD
Anxiety
PTSD
Schizophrenia
ADHD
I approach counselling from perspectives rooted in harm reduction, anti-oppression, decolonization, and trauma awareness. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates person-centred, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, somatics, narrative, CBT, and other approaches.
I am passionate about the outdoors, music, art, and writing and would love to incorporate these forms of connection and expression into our work together if they resonate with you. I seek to understand your perspectives and meet you where you are at so we can create a counselling environment best suited to your unique needs and goals.
Please feel free to reach out via email to book a free, 16 minute* phone consultation.
*16 minutes is being used as a small part of my decolonial practice. I want to highlight here how rigid expectations for time came to this land from colonialism. It also helps me note that, although my sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes, I request that clients schedule in a 10-minute buffer in the likely event that we go over that time by a bit.
