I believe in the innate strength and resilience people carry, even in the face of overwhelming experiences. I provide trauma-informed counselling in Squamish and online throughout Canada. I specialize in trauma therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR helps the brain process distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming. My work focuses on occupational stress injuries and childhood, relational, and attachment trauma. I support those experiencing traumatic loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I specialize in supporting first responders and their families.

Accepting new clients in my practice -Sometimes it’s easier to say I’m fine – instead of admitting the truth, even to yourself. The truth might be that you are feeling sad or lonely. The truth might be that you are feeling insecure or hopeless. The truth might be that you are disappointed or hurt, anxious or maybe embarrassed. The truth might be that you are feeling ashamed. The truth might be that you are minimizing, avoiding or ignoring core parts of your identity. Maybe you have inadvertently locked yourself into what you think is socially acceptable?

You may be looking for therapy because something has become difficult to manage. It may be anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship conflict, pressure at work, grief, immigration-related stress, or feeling not quite yourself. Sometimes the problem is clear; sometimes it is harder to put into words. I focus on understanding what brings you here and what kind of help you need. My postdoctoral research at the University of Calgary on romantic relationships and conflict also informs my attention to close relationships and romantic bonds.

I help my clients with challenges in their personal, relational and professional roles, using their own strengths, negative thought patterns, and past experiences. I help my clients work through their new roles in life as a parent, partner, etc.
Parents may specifically find our sessions helpful as we discuss the parenting styles, how they bond with the child, and how parenthood has been impacting the partner's dynamic. I also help immigrants and new comers work through their negative feelings such as guilt, sadness, fears and self-doubts; uniquely, adult children who carry a sense of guilt towards their aging parents back home.

My purpose and my passion is to help you fully remember who and what you truly are! The beautiful, perfect soul you are, prior to all the programming and conditioning that's had you believing that you're just "not good enough". This "not good enough" nonsense, is nothing more than an indoctrinated/brainwashed belief. It is at the root cause of all pain and trauma. It underlies all of humanity's suffering. It is indeed, the real pandemic on this planet. It has infected entirely all of us. It is the greatest, most ridiculous most asinine lie that has ever been sold to humanity! My job and my joy is to help you heal from this insanity.

I work extensively with couples on communication and relationship issues including infidelity, the rebuilding of trust and issues concerning sex. I work to help facilitate emotional responsibility so that everyone can define their goals, be heard and work towards feeling safe when communicating from a place of vulnerability. I have also worked with men individually and in a group setting around issues of identity, anger management, sexuality, anxiety, and depression.

Life can be complicated no matter what your age is. Managing life transitions such as becoming a teenager or young adult, a parent, or change in any life routine can be difficult.

I aim to help you connect with yourself and others in a way that makes you feel more content and confident in life.

I provide transpersonal counselling psychology sessions for individuals, couples, and groups locally, internationally, in-person and online. I guide people to discover compassionate resolutions to their current concerns by integrating contemplative practices from the world's wisdom traditions with leading-edge psychotherapeutic approaches. Having witnessed firsthand the transformations of hundreds of people, I can attest to the capacity of the human soul to transform traumatic losses, transitions, or crises into a sense of greater peace, clarity, and personal agency, when met with presence, empathy, and unconditional acceptance.

Most of my clients are wired a little differently, and the work fits the wiring. I see neurodivergent adults and youth: the ADHD engineer who can build anything except a morning routine, the creative whose best ideas arrive at 2am while the paperwork never arrives at all, the parent trying to decode a kid who doesn't run on the standard operating system. Therapy with me is practical. We figure out how your particular brain actually works, then build strategies around it instead of forcing it into shapes that never fit. The goal: less overwhelm, more traction, and a daily life that feels like yours.

Come as you are. I am devoted to creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. Whether you come with overwhelming anxiety, depression, unworthiness, a history of abuse, trauma, disordered eating or want to work on improving unhealthy thought patterns - all is welcome. Expressive Arts Therapy is a non-invasive nourishment focused approach to therapy that uses direct experience through art making to tap into the senses in order to explore thoughts, patterns, and belief systems. No prior technical skill is necessary. I understand my immense responsibility not only as a space-holder but also as a witness to your vulnerability.

You are not broken—and you don’t need fixing. At your core, you are whole. But life, trauma, loss, stress, and relationships can make you feel fragmented or unaligned. With humility and reverence, my work is about helping you remember who you are beneath the layers: sovereign, worthy, and capable of living an authentic life. I work with adults navigating men's issues, life transitions, grief, disordered eating, relationship challenges, and childhood trauma. I also support individuals who feel burnt out, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Healing is not linear, but it is possible.
