Hello and welcome! I hope that therapy can offer you a safe and supportive space to explore whatever you’re going through. I am a social work clinician with advanced training in Couple & Family Therapy.
Therapy is like seeking a second opinion from someone who isn’t in your life. Who is compassionate and non-judgmental. Who is professionally trained to be ethically confidential. Who happens to have knowledge and experience working with individual struggling similar situations as yours. And who can share insights and find some potential way outs with you.

Change is possible… Therapy can help you to identify unhealthy patterns, develop coping strategies, and learn effective communication skills. You can increase your understanding of the underlying issues and emotions that may be contributing to challenging situations. With increased insight and new skills, you can become more empowered to make positive and meaningful changes in your life. I believe in the profound impact of our emotions and of our connections - with ourselves and with others - on our well-being.

Are you in a relationship, knowing that something HAS to change, but don't know how to change it? It seems like you've tried everything, but you still feel unhappy, lonely, or trapped.
Or maybe you're trying to heal from a childhood of neglect and/or abuse. You know it's still affecting you, but you don't know how to fully heal. And, like many of my clients, maybe you're even asking yourself, "Why do I turn into my angsty 15-year-old self when I'm around my parents or siblings?"
Or perhaps you're coming out of a lifetime of high-control religion, and are starting to sort through the beliefs, subtle manipulation, & lost community.

I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples ( EFT-C) to help you heal, grow, and reconnect.
I work with individuals and couples who are curious about understanding why they may feel stuck in certain patterns and who are motivated to challenge their current perspectives. By exploring how past experiences shape our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, we can begin to process, accept, and integrate new ways of being in relationship with ourselves and others.
I’m an attachment-based therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their story. My style is warm, honest, and curiosity driven. You can expect me to listen without judgment, challenge when helpful, and work with you to make sense of what you're going through.

Welcome to my practice. I am based in Vancouver and work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. In collaboration with clients, I aim to foster an increasing awareness of what has happened till now to bring you to this point; to normalize feelings and experiences, especially those relating to trauma; and to facilitate a connection to your inner knowing. I believe that in the uncomfortable parts of life, the challenges and the chaos, we can learn to maintain healthy connections within ourselves and with our loved ones and community.

I specialize in working with queer and trans adults and teens. As a queer transgender person, my experience allows me to attend to many ways of being that are not always understood. I am ideally suited to those who walk along one or more of these paths, including queerness, transness, neurodivergence, ethical non-monogamy, kink- and power exchange-based relationships, and parenting in structures outside of the hetero nuclear family.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches I've been trained in, including Emotion-Focused Therapy ( EFT), Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry (CI), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
I know how painful, stressful, and lonely life can be. In those difficult moments, it’s often hard to know what to do or where to turn. I am so humbled by the bravery it takes to begin this self-reflective journey, and I am committed to holding a safe, compassionate space as we walk that path together. Our sessions might involve making sense of difficult experiences, improving relationship dynamics, deepening self-understanding, reconnecting with your inner strength, or simply finding a bit more ease in daily life.

Just as a seed grows into a plant, and a plant seeks water and reaches toward light, there is an intrinsic capacity within all living organisms to heal and to grow, and a natural inclination to move in this direction. My approach is guided by trust in the wisdom of this life process. I am a holistic practitioner working in the realms of psychotherapy and birth care, with a focus on human attachment, lifespan development, and caregiving "from womb to tomb." Birth psychology and attachment relationships are areas of special interest.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and bring curiosity, warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship. I use a collaborative, strength-based, and relational approach focused on promoting long-lasting change. Fundamentally, we are social beings, embedded in complicated social relationships. It is my belief that many struggles people face are linked to how they experience these relationships and how larger structural and societal issues impact these relationships. I strive to work side-by-side with my clients in the healing process, helping them to pave the way toward a more authentic and satisfying life.

You may be managing day to day, but internally feel tense, low, or affected by past experiences that still show up. Many people I work with feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to make sense of what they’re carrying. Together, we focus on making sense of what’s going on and building practical ways to manage it—so you can feel steadier, think more clearly, and respond in ways that feel more aligned with who you want to be.

I support people who are healing, rebuilding, or trying to make sense of what they’ve been through when life hasn’t gone as expected. Whether you're a survivor of childhood trauma, domestic violence, going through a breakup, friendship drama, or just feeling lost in your career path. I help you make sense of what happened and find a way forward that feels true to you. You might be someone others rely on, who’s used to coping, pushing through, and making it work … but inside, it feels like a lot. Sometimes life breaks us open, but we can put you back together.

I believe therapy is a process of understanding—understanding your emotions, your experiences, and the parts of yourself that influence how you move through the world. I work with clients to explore their limitations and self-imposed barriers, uncover where they may stem from, and develop tools that support resilience and growth. My aim is to create a supportive space where insight and meaningful change can unfold.

Many of the people I work with are struggling in their relationships — with a partner, with family, or with themselves. Something has shifted, or quietly eroded, and they're not sure how to find their way back. They don't just want to feel less bad, they want to actually understand what's happening, and to feel genuinely known by someone along the way.

Are you a gay man who feels anxious, stressed, disconnected or unsure how to move forward—either in your life or your relationship? Maybe you overthink everything, struggle to relax during sex or feel distant from your partner. You might feel pressure to keep it all together while quietly suffering inside. You want more ease, more connection and to feel like yourself again—whether that means quieting your anxiety, deepening intimacy or both. I know reaching out can be hard when you don't know what to expect. I offer a warm, non-judgemental and shame-free space where you can feel safe, supported and truly seen.
