Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively

I offer direct billing to Pacific Blue Cross (PBC) and ICBC.
I work with people through many stages of change — from feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to get through the day, to those wanting to better manage challenges or enhance performance. Many are living with chronic stress, pain, injury, anxiety, depression, or neurological conditions looking for support in navigating these challenges and life transitions. As a former high-performance athlete living with chronic pain, I bring both clinical and personal insight into how physical health impacts mental health and identity.
