Hello, I’m Mattéa.
If our paths have crossed here, it means you are bravely opening yourself up to the opportunity (and challenge) of improving your experience of life—and I commend you for that immensely. You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
I believe we are all works in progress, while at the same time already whole—perfect in our becoming. For me, healing is deeply relational: we grow through connection, community, and the safe spaces where we are truly seen.
Counselling with me is not about being “fixed,” but about remembering your strength, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and creating space for healing in its many forms.
My approach is warm, raw, deeply empathetic, and always person-centred. In our work together, we will tend to the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual layers of your being as we strive to find balance in all aspects of life. I see equilibrium as the heartbeat of wellness.
I draw from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems, emotionally focused, and narrative approaches—weaving practices that invite processing, challenge, rewiring, grounding, and expansion. Much of my work returns to strengthening the muscle of self-compassion, which naturally flows into all areas of daily life.
My perspective as a counsellor is shaped by lived experience. Having navigated ADHD, depression, trauma, PTSD and complex women’s health challenges, I know that healing is rarely linear—but always possible.
Together, we can explore the tender places, the unspoken stories, and the possibility of living with greater clarity, authenticity, connection, and ease.
I am fluent in both English and French, and make my home between Vancouver, BC, and the Magdalen Islands, Québec. Beyond my practice, I nourish myself through dancing, knitting, making music, camping under the stars, scuba diving, and befriending every animal that crosses my path. I find inspiration in nature, in the forests, the ocean, and the cycles of the moon, all of which shape the presence and organic softness I bring into my work.
I am honoured to be part of Collective Growth and to walk alongside those ready to step into their healing with courage and care.
I look forward to meeting you!
