IFS / Parts Work

Inner Critic • Shame • Perfectionism “You don’t have to believe everything your inner critic says.” IFS (Internal Family Systems) helps you separate from harsh self-judgment and develop self-compassion. → Learn to quiet shame without fighting it.

Overcoming Anxiety

Panic • Worry • Overthinking Anxiety often comes from protective parts trying to keep you safe. We’ll work with your anxious parts (not against them) using IFS-informed approaches. → Reduce symptoms without years of talk therapy.

Couples Counseling

Conflict Cycles • Communication • EFT + Gottman Break the reccuring argument pattern. Evidence-based tools that actually work. → Get out of blame cycles and into real listening.

Hello, I'm Maylene, 

I specialize in helping people stop fighting themselves.

My approach combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) for inner critic and shame, with EFT and Gottman methods for couples stuck in conflict cycles.

I offer online therapy across British Columbia. That means no commute, no waiting rooms, and sessions from your couch.

 

You don’t need to have it all figured out before we talk.

How It Works

Experience a seamless process
in three simple steps

Step One
Sign up for a free Jane account

You'll be directed to create a Jane account to book a free consult or paid sessions. This is also where you can share your concerns, goals, or anything that's bringing you to counselling.
Takes about 2 minutes. No credit card needed for the free consult.

Jane is secure, private, and used by thousands of BC therapists. No back-and-forth emails — everything in one place.

Step Three
Make a Plan

Get a personalized plan & book follow-up sessions. 
After your free consult, I'll create a plan tailored to you and book additional sessions as needed. 

Step Two
Book and Show Up

Once your appointment is booked, you'll receive reminders and a link to log in about 30 minutes before it starts.

 

From there, we'll meet online using Jane's built-in video, on Zoom, or by phone if preferred. 

Services Payment
Insurance and Reimbursement

Enjoy hassle-free booking that's usually covered by your insurance.

For paid sessions, you'll receive receipts after each appointment for easy insurance reimbursement.

Frequently 
Asked 
Questions

Starting therapy can be daunting, and you may have questions. Please email me with additional questions or concerns, or refer to our additional FAQs on the website. 

1. Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
 

Yes – research shows similar outcomes for anxiety, couples work, and IFS.

Many clients actually prefer online because their lives are busy. 

3. Do you see couples where one person has anxiety?
 

Yes – that’s very common.

 

We use EFT to address how anxiety affects the relationship without blaming either partner.

2. Why do I need a Jane account for a free consult?
 

Jane keeps your health information secure. It also lets you book and manage everything in one place – no emails back and forth.

Free account, no credit card needed until you book a paid session.

Free consult within 48 hours, depending on holidays and availability. 

Stop fighting your inner critic alone.
