Working with clients is a creative process of discovery and healing. My role as a counsellor is to offer understanding, support, and compassion to help the process unfold. In this encouraging and creative environment clients can:

Restore and renew intimate relationships
Reduce and manage stress
Find effective ways to deal with depression and anxiety
Improve self-esteem
Identify and heal emotional wounds
Work through grief and loss
Manage addictive behaviours
Deal with family-of-origin issues
Connect more deeply with a sense of wholeness
Discover a greater sense of meaning and purpose

My work as a counsellor is influenced by several therapeutic orientations and theoretical approaches, and is uniquely tailored to the individual views, needs, and goals of the client. Drawing upon my clinical skills and experience, I creatively work with thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and spiritual concerns in a holistic and integrative way. Clients benefit from a transformative journey that involves greater self-awareness, understanding, and freedom as they take the steps that lead to change.

I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I have received clinical training in many areas, including cognitive-behavioural, narrative, family systems, and existential approaches, along with mindfulness practices.
