With passion, I have worked extensively in community settings throughout the Lower Mainland with children, adolescents, and adults from a range of evidence based modalities. Some of my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, emotional dysregulation, trauma, relationship conflicts and distress, parenting, and issues related to overcontrol. The foundation of my therapeutic work comes from exploring the mind and tapping into the wisdom of the body. Choosing to enter into counselling or psychotherapy can be a scary and hard decision to make. There is uncertainty about the process and/or the outcome.

In just one session, my client was relieved for his work related stress and anxiety.

OCD-Anxiety/Relational Abuse/Burnout/EMDR: You just want situations and people to be less difficult. You already know that your anxiety, phobias, and OCD loops are reflections of what your body is going through. You are navigating the weight of shifting identities, daily pressures, high-functioning burnout, or the deep grief of losing your best support system or never having one. Perhaps you are carrying the fear, silence, and consequences of relational trauma, abuse or coercive control. But you know you are so much more than this. Somewhere along the way, you lost the person You used to be and are tired of walking on eggshells.

I specialize in relationships and trauma - relationships with others, your career, or inner struggles that keep you stuck. I use attachment theory, somatic therapy and working with the unconscious mind to explore intimacy, abandonment, and patterns in relationships. I also work with addiction, anxiety, stress and burnout.

Relationships come in all forms and are sometimes difficult, even traumatic.

Are you navigating relationship difficulties, marital distress, betrayal, separation, or the complex grief that follows divorce?.
Are carrying the invisible weight of medical or reproductive trauma—infertility, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, or feeling unheard in healthcare settings?

Many of my clients appear capable and responsible on the outside but feel stuck internally. They may struggle with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or persistent self-doubt. Often these patterns stem from earlier experiences that shaped beliefs about self-worth, safety, belonging, or personal agency. In therapy we work to process these experiences, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself, others, and the life you want to build.

You often find yourself doubting your decisions and putting so much energy into your relationships that you end up feeling drained or burnt out. It’s exhausting to care so deeply while worrying how others see you. Maybe you notice your body tightening with stress, or you start avoiding tasks that feel too overwhelming. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready for change, I can help you move beyond perfectionism and reconnect with a sense of calm, confidence, and self-compassion.
