Weight Loss Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

A Registered Psychologist in Vancouver since 1980, I am passionate about exploring the subconscious mind, assisting my clients to clarify and accomplish their goals, personal and professional. My ideal client has some knowledge of themselves and is deeply motivated to change. Patterns that respond very well to hypnotherapy include smoking, emotional eating, addictions, phobias and insomnia. Hypnotherapy can clear sabotages to success, blocks to self esteem, blocks to creativity, procrastination, fear of public speaking, and help athletes achieve optimal sports performance. Relationships: I love to work with couples experiencing relationship issues, helping them learn to express and listen to each other from the heart.

Calling all cycle-breakers, change-makers, and those who dance to their own rhythm—therapy can be a sacred path that leads you back home to your truest nature. It offers intentional space to unlearn and to remember who you innately are before the world told you to become someone else. As a holistic clinical counsellor (RCC), I work with those who’ve often felt out of place in a world that wasn’t built with them in mind—I’m talking about the neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD) individuals and highly sensitive souls (HSP) who are done contorting themselves to fit in and ready to return to their whole, authentic self—unmasked.

You look fine on the outside—successful, capable, holding it together. But inside, you're carrying more than you let on. The burnout is real. The emotional disconnection feels heavy. You've done the mindset work, followed the rules, and still something feels missing. You want to stop performing and start feeling. You're craving relationships rooted in safety and depth—with yourself, your partner, or the person you're becoming. You want to trust yourself again, make decisions with clarity, and show up authentically without fear. You're ready to dig deep, break old patterns, and come home to who you really are.

Feeling stressed, angry, fearful, and/or sad is what most of us go through. This is not bad because it clarifies what you desire deep down. But if you continue to feel these emotions, they become real issues that make you feel defeated, beat up, and exhausted. "Be positive" doesn't always work. But there are ways to feel better. You can learn exactly how our mind and body work which can give you back control and autonomy. My counseling goal is to support you in realizing and believing you have all the power to overcome anything. My approach is heart-centered. Thank you for the opportunity to be your support.

I work with clients 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 have shaped our thoughts, behaviours, and feelings, we can begin to process, accept, and integrate new ways of being.

You can expect me to listen without judgment, offer insights when helpful, and work with you to make sense of what you're going through.

I heard that the purpose of therapy is not meant to change who you are, but to become who you really are. I use evidence-based therapy to help you learn skills to better face challenges while also building insight into how these issues may have come about. I use a kind of talk therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on understanding and being open to thoughts and emotions, being aware of the present moment and your perspective in it, and deepening your values with actionable steps.
