I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach in my practice, and I have been influenced by Acceptance and Commitment work as well as Mindfulness Based and Humanistic Therapies.
Are you looking for practical and empathetic help for depression, panic, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or OCD? I specialize in the treatment of these issues using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a highly effective evidence-based approach. However, I don't just focus on therapy technique: having a solid relationship and a trusting working alliance with any therapist is key to productive change. In addition to therapy, I conduct diagnostic, personality, and career assessments. I confidentially counsel clients all over BC online and in-person at my Port Moody office.

I use an integrative, client-centred approach that draws from relational psychodynamic, person-centred, mindfulness-based, and trauma-focused practices.
Many adults come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or questioning how past experiences shaped who they are today. I support individuals exploring childhood experiences, relational trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, grief, and other overwhelming life experiences that may be keeping them in survival mode.
I also work with couples navigating communication difficulties, conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy, and attachment, helping partners build safer, more secure, and intentional relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed can reveal itself without notice, it can leave us in a dysfunctional state that transfers into our everyday life. We all have a past which can influence our present! Allow yourself the opportunity to address unhealthy patterns, behaviours and attitudes, discover your triggers, develop acceptance and integrate your new insights. We will collaborate together allowing you the autonomy to choose the starting point of your healing journey. This journey will enable you to create self-awareness and self-discovery, unveiling your true authentic self. We do not need to be defined by our past.

Relationships can feel exhausting when communication breaks down. You might find yourselves having the same arguments, feeling unheard, or drifting further apart despite trying your best.
Or maybe you're navigating a major life transition—grief, menopause, anxiety, or a shift in identity—and you’re not feeling like yourself anymore.
You don’t have to stay stuck there.
I help couples rebuild connection and communication, and I support individual through meaningful life changes with practical, grounded strategies that actually translate into daily life.

People often come to me when they: want to understand the “why” behind their stress responses; are highly self-aware but struggle to apply what they know; feel limited by their anxiety and/or depression; want to feel confident in their sexuality and gender identity; feel chronically stressed, burnt out, and dissatisfied with life; are at a crossroads in their life; feel unmotivated and stuck; don't have anyone they can be their authentic self with; are experiencing conflict in personal and professional relationships; want to try therapy for the first time or experience a different approach to therapy.

In using compassion and non-judgment, I believe in a collective-modality approach, combining mindfulness, somatic-work, and IFS to help you achieve your specific therapeutic goals.
Feeling "not good enough" can take everything out of us.
Whether it stems from trauma, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, or anything else in between, this "not good enough" belief leaves us feeling unsafe in ourselves and unassured in our future. My aim in our work together is to create a collaborative pathway forward that accesses strength in vulnerability and honours all parts of self.
Working from a warm and healing-centred lens, I emphasize the necessity of an honest and open therapeutic space. Let's end the cycle of not "enoughness" by building the safety and security that you have always deserved.

I integrate somatic therapy, mindfulness, Hakomi, narrative therapy, CBT, and learnings from neuroscience.
With two decades of diverse experience, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-worth/inner critic, identity-based oppression, intergenerational conflict/family of origin issues, grief and loss, parenting demands, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress management, concerns related to academics or vocation, and work/life balance.

At Uplift, we work with adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in survival mode while continuing to manage the demands of work, relationships, and daily life. Many people I support have spent years coping, adapting, and pushing through, often without fully understanding why things feel so hard internally. Anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, identity strain, and workplace stress are frequently rooted in trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including complex or developmental trauma, even when these connections are not immediately recognized.

I am a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT). My counselling approach is built on something called unconditional positive regard. I am a non-judgemental listener who likes to use kindness, support and sometimes even humour to build relationships with my clients. We can use a wide range of counselling practices depending on your personal or professional needs. Any person or group wrestling with an aspect of your personal or professional life is welcome to work with me. I have many years of experience in education and professional practice and have helped individuals, families, and businesses solve challenges they are facing.

You struggle with difficult thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations, and urges that can negatively impact your relationships, work, school, and overall well-being.

Regardless of your situation or the difficulties you face, as a collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-oriented therapist, my focus is helping you struggle less difficulties and challenges, so you can focus on being the person you truly want to be.

I lean on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with innovative techniques like mindfulness-based skills and Polyvagal theory but will always tailor my approach to what my clients need.
This combination allows us to address immediate concerns and deeper patterns, promoting lasting change and self-discovery. You can expect a non-judgemental space for all backgrounds, collaborative goal-setting, practical tools for managing stress and increasing resilience and a holistic approach that considers physical, emotional and social well-being.

I approach counselling from a lens that is grounded in the continued practice of anti-racism, disability justice, queer theory, sex positivity, and that recognizes the systemic violence that has, and continues to, harm us and impact our experiences in the world, and inside ourselves. The main niche of folks that I have had the honour of working with over the years have been queer and trans folks, sex workers, disabled folks, non-traditional relationship networks, kink and bdsm communities, BIPOC folks, folks navigating complex trauma, and those living at the intersections of many of these identities.

I use a combination of evidence-based modalities, including: trauma-informed, CBT, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, DBT, ACT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
If therapy hasn’t worked for you before, it may be because conditions like personality disorders, chronic anxiety, and emotional dysregulation require highly specialized treatment. I provide dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) delivered as it was intended.
I take a client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs and goals. As my work is rooted from an integrative approach, I use multiple evidence-based modalities including CBT, and ACT to provide flexible and individualized care.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues and many other problems. Reach out today!

I use an integrated approach tailored to individual needs, and often include mindfulness and self-compassion in my work with individuals.
I have several years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, parents and families on challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, emotion regulation, relationship issues, grief, parenting, family conflict and more. I offer a gentle, caring and compassionate approach. I believe in the relationship between therapist and client to help individuals to reflect, explore and grow in order to develop successful relationships outside of therapy. Together, we can make sense of thoughts and feelings and connect them to previous and current experiences to change unhelpful patterns so that you can be your best self.
