My approach to therapy is collaborative and gentle - creating a flexible and inclusive environment for my clients to feel safe enough to communicate their concerns without fear of judgement or scrutiny. I am a certified Specialist in Womens’ Mental Health and Childhood Trauma, applying Attachment and Polyvagal theories to treat anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. For 24 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals in education, non-profit agencies, and over the past 13 years, in private practice, addressing concerns from minor stresses to complex trauma and mental illness.
I am available for in-person or remote sessions via a secure and confidential platform accessible from anywhere in the world. I have degrees in Education, Psychology, and Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and an authorized Clinician with the Crime Victims Assistance Program.
Life can be stressful, and reaching out for counselling shouldn't be. To assist with this, I am available to meet in the evening, on weekends, while you are out of town for work or play, using a remote platform that is confidential and convenient. I am available on a flexible schedule, because life’s issues don’t always happen during business hours.
