As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice. I am capable of direct billing for ICBC and CVAP and can be accepted through other insurance agencies (i.e. Sunlife, BlueCross, GreenShield)

Many of my clients are first responders and high‑achieving professionals who operate in intense, high‑stakes environments, facing repeated exposure to trauma, long or unpredictable hours, and constant pressure to perform. They often arrive feeling emotionally exhausted, hypervigilant, or cut off from themselves and their loved ones, yet still expected to show up strong and steady. I specialize in helping them process accumulated stress and trauma, manage anxiety and burnout, and build practical, sustainable strategies to feel more grounded, balanced, and resilient both on and off the job.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger originating often from childhood that often seeps into today’s relationships and reality. Therapy is about creating the life we truly want to live. This can be especially difficult in today’s chaotic society. In childhood we absorb various message from family and society, and. develop coping strategies to protect us from criticism or judgment, but over time, they can turn into beliefs that end up limiting us.
Together, we’ll gently uncover and untangle these patterns, making space for new perspectives and healthier ways of being.

Relational & Psychodynamic Therapy / Background in Medicine / Individuals, Couples & Mindfulness-Based Programs / /
People often come to therapy because something in their inner life no longer feels workable. Patterns repeat, symptoms persist, or there is a sense of being stuck despite effort and understanding. I view emotional distress—and at times even physical symptoms—as meaningful expressions of how a person has learned to adapt in order to stay connected, safe, or intact.

A road to a joy filled life can take us on detours at times. Isn't that what we all want after all? A life honoring ourselves and living it to the fullest?

The good news is that you don't have to! I am trained in techniques that help the body and mind process these wounds without the pain of retelling the story.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
