Amina Virgolici
Registered Clinical Counsellor
“Trust is built in very small moments, which I call 'sliding door' moments. In any interaction, there is a possibility of connecting with your partner or turning away from your partner. One such moment is not important, but if you're always choosing to turn away, then trust erodes in a relationship- very gradually, very slowly.”
— John Gottman
We offer in-person counselling in Burnaby, BC, as well as online and phone counselling across British Columbia.
