About Kelsey

Clinical Therapist & Certified Baby Sleep Consultant, Lower Mainland

Hi, I'm Kelsey — and I'm so glad you found your way here.

Whether you're an exhausted parent desperate for sleep, navigating a difficult season in your relationship, or simply looking for a safe place to process the weight of everyday life — you've come to the right place.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant based in Vancouver, BC, serving families across the Lower Mainland. I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Victoria, and a Sleep Consultant Certification from the Institute of Sensitive Sleep.

What sets my practice apart is the rare combination of clinical depth and practical, hands-on sleep support — all woven together with genuine compassion for how hard it is to be a parent.

My Background

I've been working in the mental health field for over 10 years, supporting individuals, parents, and families across a wide range of settings — including a perinatal clinic, Vancouver Coastal Health's Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health program (serving children ages 0–5), and both inpatient and outpatient treatment centres for youth and adults.

I opened my private practice in 2018, and since then I've had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families through some of their most challenging — and most meaningful — moments.

I'm also a mother of two, which means I don't just understand the research. I understand the 3 a.m. wake-ups, the mental load, the guilt, and the love that makes all of it worth it.

My Approach

I work from a person-centered, attachment-based, and trauma-informed lens. That means I believe you are the expert of your own life and your own family — my role is to walk alongside you, not tell you what to do.

Whether we're working on sleep, or something deeper, you can expect to feel:

• 💛 Seen and heard — without judgment

• 🤝 Supported — with warmth and consistency

• 🧠 Informed — with evidence-based guidance tailored to your family

• ✅ Empowered — to make decisions that feel right for you

Sleep Consulting

As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I take a holistic approach to baby and toddler sleep — looking at feeding, daytime schedules, routines, sleep environment, and your parenting preferences all together. I offer a range of methods, from gentle, gradual approaches to structured check-in methods, and we always decide together what feels most aligned for your family.

My sleep consulting services are often eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits in BC, thanks to my RCC designation — making quality sleep support more accessible for families.

I've been recognized as a sleep expert by the Vancouver Sun, and I regularly share free tips and resources for parents on Instagram and TikTok at @little.sleepy.heads.
