Attachment-based Therapists in British Columbia

I empower women and young adults who are feeling stressed, worried and “not good enough” to step into the life and self-worth they deserve! You might feel constrained by low self-worth, too many “shoulds”, perfectionism or people pleasing. You might be feeling stuck in relationship patterns that are painful or unsatisfying. You might struggle to set boundaries with others. Maybe you struggle with guilt, shame, anxiety, loneliness, sadness, or feeling like you don't "belong". Together we'll identify and work with your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and inner "parts" to help you better understand yourself with compassion.

I have been practicing as a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist in B.C. for 40 years. I was previously the Senior Psychologist at the Vancouver Health Dept. and the Director of Psychology at VGH (Shaughnessy). I was a consultant to the Family Justice Counselling Service (BC Attorney General) for 10 years and the National Parole Board of Canada. My clients these days see me primarily for parenting and post-separation problems. This can take the form of parenting assessments for the Court, consulting, and Parent Coordination. I am registered to practice in BC. Equally importantly I am a husband, father and grandfather.

I am passionate about working with youth and young adults. I like to take a philosophical approach that targets the heart of emotional concerns. I believe that emotional well-being can be achieved through finding purpose and meaning in life. I enjoy helping my clients heal through building intimate connections, collaborating on finding meaningful activities, and addressing emotional challenges that may be holding them back from moving forward with their life.

I believe in your inner resources to heal and step onto a new path, in your own way, and offer my services in confidence, as a compassionate witness on your journey of healing. During our sessions, I will gently encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.

I am passionate about supporting you in living fully within the wisdom of your body. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (16525) and a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT), I support those who have experienced a disconnection to their body due to sexual trauma, relational abuse, an eating disorder/disordered eating, and reproductive health trauma. I assist clients in coming home to their bodies through a multidisciplinary and personalized approach that relies on depth psychology, relational somatics, intersectional feminism, and mindfulness.

How long has it been since you felt fully alive? When was the last time you felt truly seen by your partner, utterly on-purpose in your life, or laughed uncontrollably, overtaken by an embodied experience of truly impossible delight? If you are completely honest, can you see where you may have learned to settle for the comfort of sub-optimal in your life, work or relationships? If so, I am here for you. When we finally move towards what’s right, what’s right moves towards us.

You are often experiencing circular arguments, or a complete stand off when it comes to communicating, and it feels as if the love between you has all but disappeared. You are at a loss as to how to untangle the situation that you are in. Life is busy and stressful and something needs to change or your relationship could quite possibly be over. You want to feel the love again. You want to be able to talk to each other and be heard and understood. You want to wake up each day feeling calm and happy and excited for the future, knowing you and your partner are a team, in this journey of life together.

Are you a woman longing for deeper self-love and more meaningful relationships? Whether you're healing from a difficult breakup or grappling with feelings of being "too much," know that you're not alone. If anxious thoughts of self-doubt and unworthiness are holding you back from authentic connections, I'm here to support you on your journey. My clients learn to cultivate a profound sense of self-acceptance and confidence that attracts and nurtures relationships aligned with their core values. You deserve love and connections that honor your highest self. Ready to take the next step towards a more fulfilling life?

Not currently accepting new clients. Please contact to add yourself to the waitlist. Are you between the ages of 12 and 35 years old struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, body image concerns and not sure why it all started? Are you struggling to manage your stress levels and all of life's demands? Are you or one of your loved ones struggling with psychosis? I am here for you. My PASSION is helping young folks navigate the difficulties that are so apparent during these stages of life. If you are looking for someone to celebrate you, challenge you, see you, & remember your story, I vow that to you.

I believe strongly that every person has the innate ability to enact the changes they wish to see in their lives, and I strive to be a support and guide during that growth. Often when we are feeling depressed, anxious, or out of sync with our loved ones we feel like there is something wrong with us; we struggle to connect our current feelings with our previous experiences. Or perhaps we make the connection on a thinking level but are unable to gain a felt sense of wellness. I will help you make sense of your history and your current experiences, allowing for a deep connection to the self and, in turn, deep connection to others.

I work from a trauma-informed, healing-oriented perspective, integrating traditional teachings and modern, research-based psychotherapy. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationships, trauma, a crisis, or wanting something more from life, I welcome you for a free 20-minute consultation with me or another therapist in our clinic.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Canadian Certified Counsellor, Comprehensive Family Mediator (FMC), and sexual health and trauma-informed practitioner specializing in couples and family counselling. I am passionate about helping couples and individuals identify and achieve their personal and relational goals and I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.

I imagine you are viewing my profile as there is alignment with my training and specialization with what you hope to work on in therapy. I'd love to connect with you to hear what's going on and see how I can best support and guide you. Depending on what you want to work on, I can be as practical and as process/exploration focussed as would be helpful. My hope is to help you get what you're looking for and needing out of therapy.
