Vancouver, BC V5N
I specialize in supporting adults who struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety concerns. If you are troubled by intrusive thoughts about contamination, accidents, violence, sex, identity, morality, religion, ‘just right’ feelings, or other themes, along with excessive checking, reviewing, avoiding, reassurance-seeking, or other mental or behavioural rituals, I'm here to help. My approach is grounded in cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT), including exposure and response prevention (ERP), as well as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy.
My second area of expertise is in the area of psychosis. I support clients who struggle with voices, suspiciousness, troubling beliefs, extreme moods, and stigma. I also help people work through existential concerns related to mania or psychosis (as well as spiritual emergencies, 'bad trips,' and similar experiences).
My approach is client-centered, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. With open-mindedness and collaboration, I try to help clients of all backgrounds and beliefs feel respected and empowered. Together, we can help you better understand your challenges and find new ways to cope, recover, and grow. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
