I work with adults, children, teens and families. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is a partnership where both you and I bring strengths to the table to overcome challenges that are getting in the way of living the life you want to live. All people have the capacity to heal, and the problems that bring you to therapy do not have to define who you are. I will support you in becoming the person you want to be, whether that be by healing from past trauma or by dealing with current issues that may be getting in your way.

Therapy provides an opportunity for healing and feeling more in control in your life. If you are concerned about the level of your own or someone else's alcohol or drug use I am an addictions therapist and registered social worker. For over 20 years I have helped clients restore balance around alcohol, drug use, gambling and internet addiction. My passion is to create the space needed for recovery so you can begin to recognize and understand the ingrained patters that are just not working. Together we look at how these patterns have come about and are shaped by significant relationships in your life, both past and present.

I practice within an anti-oppressive framework, using a whole-person approach. I work with individuals, couples and families to enhance personal and relationship goals.

I have experience working with people who have been involved in the justice and child welfare systems, experienced childhood/adult abuse, oppression, and multiple/complex trauma, have addictions, and a wide variety of other issues.

Seeking therapy is a sign of a personal strength, not a weakness. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life but would like to do better in one area or another. I believe that the client is the expert on them and it is my role to support them to reach the goals that they set. Now excepting virtual clients in British Columbia.

When I began my Practice in 1990, I knew that I was blessed to have landed in a role that captured my brain and my heart but I never could have imagined that it would bring me to the place I am today. Life is full of challenges. It is also potentially full of joys and celebrations. If you find yourself in a difficult or confusing time in your life, give me a call. I can promise a warm and attentive environment as we work together. Please note that I will see you individually, in your relationship, or, within your family unit.
