Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in Vancouver, BC
My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. I emphasize the importance of a strong, compassionate therapeutic relationship and work primarily from a trauma informed, client-centered model. I incorporate elements of emotion focused, narrative, dialectical behavioural, internal family systems, parts work, attachment, strengths/resiliency based, and somatic approaches. I primarily work from a process oriented place by working on issues brought up in the moment and spending time breaking down the beliefs, emotions, and behaviours that accompany each issue.

I'm not here to instruct you on how to live your life or to criticize the way you already do. I'm here to give you a safe space to express yourself and let go of the burden of having to carry it all alone. You are likely here at this time in your life because you are sick of telling yourself stories that don't suit your best interests or the best version of yourself. Reconnecting with the part of you that knows you deserve to be happy is my aim in helping you. In our work together I will help you get in touch with your own knowing and tap into your strengths.

I believe we all have an incredible capacity for healing and growth. My approach to counselling is rooted in empowerment and deep respect for your unique experiences. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where trust and connection can grow, as feeling truly seen and heard is foundational to our work ahead. At your own pace, we’ll explore past traumas, triggers, and patterns that may be impacting your life today. By understanding where certain thoughts and behaviors stem from, we can shift the focus from ‘Why?’ to ‘What now?’, helping you move toward more adaptive coping and emotional well-being.

Welcome! As a therapist, my practice is rooted in a person-centred framework. I approach each and every individual as having their own unique needs (and wants!) in therapy. I place great importance on empathy, alongside thoughtful and meaningful conversation. This balance can open the door to gently challenging unhelpful patterns and ways of thinking, something I believe is often crucial to the therapeutic process.
I may not be your typical “smile and nod” therapist, but I will always meet you where you are and support you in sorting through whatever you may be carrying.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that aren’t working, emotionally drained, or unsure of your next steps. I work with pre-teens, adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, life transitions, and the impacts of trauma. I also support neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism.
Many challenges develop in response to chronic stress, past experiences, or environments that haven’t felt supportive. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of developing the skills needed to cope effectively.

Many of my clients come in struggling to genuinely like themselves. They're caught in a cycle of self-criticism and self-doubt, feeling like nothing they ever do is enough. They're terrified that if they start to speak up or set a boundary, the people they love will walk away, so they don't. Their fears settle into the body, showing up as a mental spiral, a tight chest, a racing heart, until eventually they just shut down. Sometimes they can even see their patterns, but they still feel really stuck. That's where this work comes in.

So, you're at a point where things need to shift. You’re high achieving and high anxiety human who can’t turn their brain off. Maybe you're a bit of a perfectionist or people pleaser too. You worry you're too much. Not enough. Too needy. Too sensitive. Too reserved. Too vulnerable. You’ve learned how to push down your emotions and you’re a pro at intellectualizing the feelings that do come up. Internally, you feel like you’re on a conflicting rollercoaster. And you’ve tried plenty to feel better: meditating, exercising, gratitude journaling... you probably already know this, but you don’t need to try harder. You need some support.

Does this sound like you and your relationship? You fight in circles about the same (petty) things and don’t know how to make it better. Minor disagreements can erupt into full-blown arguments. You walk on eggshells to avoid conflicts. You don’t feel the same connection and closeness to your partner. You wonder if this is it…or if there is hope for your relationship. If you are feeling tired, hopeless, and exasperated, you’re in the right place. I help couples stop vicious cycles of fights and start communicating in a healthy and effective way, so both partners feel heard and understood; restoring trust and connection in your bond.

Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at. Single, coupled and everywhere in between.
