I provide individual therapy using a humanistic/person-centered and somatic/relational lens and use techniques that draw from Mindfulness-Based, Cognitive Behavioural, Emotionally-Focussed, Family Systems, and Trauma-Informed Therapies.
I have over fifteen years experience as a helping professional, first as an Occupational Therapist and then as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals with a diverse range of issues such as adjusting to a new diagnosis (e.g. cancer), living with a chronic illness, grief, loss, anxiety, changes in mood, emotional dysregulation, and and changes in life roles. I also work with depression, anxiety and relationship issues.

Waitlist for new clients
I offer a warm and holistic approach that is strengths-based and action-oriented: grounded in theories of positive psychology, human development, mindfulness, cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and informed by research in self-regulated learning, executive functioning, academic persistence, career development and couples therapy.
I collaborate with clients as they develop tools to manage anxiety, increase their confidence in decision-making and managing daily demands, build better relationships, and aim to succeed at school and work. I guide clients in exploring their thinking habits and emotional experience; recognizing their strengths and growth opportunities; and to design and achieve personal, relational, academic, and career objectives. I draw from evidence-based Gottman Couple Therapy Methods with couples, as well as with individual clients interested in developing more effective communication skills and stronger and more positive relationships.

Hypnotherapy and mindfulness meditation are wonderful therapeutic tools to assist you in tapping into peace, creativity and expansiveness and to help release old negative beliefs and attitudes about your self.
A Registered Psychologist in Vancouver since 1980, I am passionate about exploring the subconscious mind, assisting my clients to clarify and accomplish their goals, personal and professional. My ideal client has some knowledge of themselves and is deeply motivated to change. Patterns that respond very well to hypnotherapy include smoking, emotional eating, addictions, phobias and insomnia. Hypnotherapy can clear sabotages to success, blocks to self esteem, blocks to creativity, procrastination, fear of public speaking, and help athletes achieve optimal sports performance. Relationships: I love to work with couples experiencing relationship issues, helping them learn to express and listen to each other from the heart.

I draw from mindfulness, Gestalt therapy, CBT, DBT, and attachment neuroscience to fit each individual's needs and concerns.
Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Worried about your work or relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? Finding yourself avoiding or procrastinating on things that are important to you? Life is incredibly difficult at times, and we often feel alone in our suffering. You don't have to get through it on your own. In counselling, when we feel safe and understood, we can connect to our natural ability to heal and thrive. I work with my clients to help them to deeply explore and make sense of their struggles, uncover their inner wisdom and resilience, and become their best, most authentic selves.

First, my gratitude for your curiosity about my work. The foundation for all of my work is from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and anti-oppressive lens. I have had the honour of working with a wide range of people who seek to navigate through challenges such as childhood trauma, sexual abuse/violence, grief, intimacy issues, anxiety, and chronic pain. I have witnessed the often beautiful and life-shifting, but complex journey of navigating such issues and the courage it takes to do so. I aim to create a space where this vulnerability is met with compassion, safety, support, and a guiding hand if you feel you need it.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
