Pacific Blue Cross Therapists in Coquitlam, BC
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

Children and teens don't always express what they're going through in the same way as adults. Your child or teen may be navigating autism, ADHD, anxiety, big emotions, school stress, friendships, self-esteem, behavioural challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed. I begin with connection and safety, using play and creativity with younger children and a more conversational, collaborative approach with teens. With 9 years of experience in behavioural therapy, I look beneath behaviour with curiosity and compassion while helping young people feel understood, accepted, and supported.

Do you find yourself overthinking texts, conversations, and changes in tone? Do you become anxious, preoccupied, or lose your sense of calm when you begin to care deeply about someone? You may seek constant reassurance, abandon your own needs to keep your relationship intact, become the "fixer," or struggle to leave relationships that repeatedly leave you feeling hurt and deflated, questioning whether you are enough. Together, we can work on understanding your anxiety, and feeling more confident, secure, and at ease in your relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of “shoulds” and self-comparison? Exhausted by the pressure to do it all, yet unsure how to slow down? You’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are navigating burnout, self-doubt, body image concerns, or life transitions that have pulled them away from who they are. You might feel overwhelmed by “shoulds,” self-comparison, or the weight of expectations. What you really want is to feel more grounded, connected, and confident—like yourself again. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reflect, and begin that return.

Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. You’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by stress, or stuck in unhealthy patterns.

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.

You are human, which means you are complicated, full of contradictions, and probably carrying more than you let on. Maybe you feel stuck, in your thoughts, your relationships, your career, or just life in general. You might be a young adult navigating independence, a university student drowning in expectations, or a professional battling self-doubt and burnout. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, relationships feel more confusing than they should, or you're just exhausted by the weight of figuring everything out on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone, let’s talk.

Sometimes life events make us feel as if we are inside a tornado or stuck in a fog. I’ve been there myself, I know how it feels.

You may be someone carrying wounds you can't quite name — anxiety that won't settle, a heaviness that lingers, or experiences that have shaped you in ways you're still untangling. Perhaps you've been the strong and responsible one for everyone else, yet feel lost when it comes to yourself. Or perhaps you feel like you are not good enough and you can't seem to get started on your own goals . I work with people who are ready to explore their inner world with curiosity. Together, we create a safe, unhurried space where healing can unfold — not by pushing harder, but by learning to understand, feel, and gently return to yourself.

Specialized in trauma processing (EMDR & EMDR 2.0).
- I work with clients (ages 14+) who've experienced trauma, which often comes with depression, anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, low self-worth, chronic pain, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and other presentations.
- I also work with cumulative trauma (as seen in first responders, nurses, doctors, and 911 employees), in addition to medical and birth trauma.
How we reach your goals: I spend the first few sessions hearing your issues and mapping out a clear EMDR treatment plan with respect to your concerns (if you're looking for EMDR). We also do talk therapy as little or as much as you prefer.
