Our working relationship is focused on achieving positive change in your life. I believe that counselling provides clients with the conditions and support they need to overcome problems and live their life more fully. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a MA in Counselling Psychology (UBC). I have been in private practice since 2003 working with individuals, couples and families. My graduate research focused on attachment, trauma and couple relationships.
I am a certified Level III Emotion Focused Therapist, a Level II EMDR therapist, and a Level II Emotionally Focused couples therapist. Working from a Humanistic orientation, I use emotion-focused, experiential, polyvagal, interpersonal, and systemic approaches to assist clients in meeting the challenges they face.
Before 2003, I worked for a number of years in clinical settings - running treatment groups; providing individual, couple, and family therapy; working with at-risk adolescents; doing urgent response. I learned that a safe therapy relationship means clients can be themselves. They can access their inner resources and make meaningful change in their life.

When clients present with anxiety-related issues, I suggest that they consider trying EMDR. If clients prefer talk therapy, we often use an Emotion-Focused approach. Both of these approaches have a large body of research that supports their effectiveness. When I see couples, we work from an Emotionally Focused model of therapy (Johnson). This model is compatible with Gottman's work
