If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or life’s challenges, you’re not alone. Perhaps you feel really stuck but aren’t sure where to begin. Therapy provides a space to slow down, explore your experiences with curiousity and compassion, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself—without judgment. I strive to create a trauma-informed, supportive and safe space for you and what you bring to therapy. I work with adults with anxiety, stress, burnout, perinatal mental health, grief and loss, trauma, eating disorders and life transitions. I offer in-person counselling in Port Moody and virtual sessions throughout BC.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Art Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I work with adults who have anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, eating disorders, perinatal issues and life transitions. I use tools from CBT, DBT, art therapy and somatic practices among others.
My approach to counselling is warm and collaborative. I provide a free 15-minute initial phone or online consultation for new clients. This is an opportunity to introduce ourselves to each other and for you to ask me any questions you may have. It is very important to find the right fit for counselling. I would love to hear from you!
