Therapists in V3M
I have worked as a therapist in healthcare for 25 years and began private practice in 2016. I am registered with both the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC) and the British Columbia College of Social Workers (RSW). My work has included helping couples and individuals who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal/family issues, difficulties due to change of life and grief and loss. We can work together to cultivate deeper understanding, experience growth and ultimately form stronger connections to yourself and others through transformative healing.

I will help you create and discover a life worth living for and have meaningful and grounded relationships with yourself and with others. Living from a place of fear/anger/resentment right now might be impacting how you see the world every single day. These get in the way of you finding that sense of belonging and ownership over your life. It affects your most important relationships and I will help you make sense of it all so you can let go of the anger, fear, and loneliness. We will dive deeper into your story and see how the limitations are holding you back so you can change your beliefs about yourself and be your real self.

You don't have to have it all figured out! Life and relationships can be overwhelming, complicated or you may feel stuck in painful cycles. Whether you are navigating conflict with a partner, struggling with family dynamics, anxiety, cultural identity struggles, feeling the effects of past trauma or simply feeling lost within yourself, this is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
It is a space to explore not just the "what" but also the "why"- the deeper stories and emotional processes beneath the surface. It is a space to not just seek solutions, but also meaning.

When your child is struggling with big emotions, anxiety, school stress, family changes, or friendships, it is hard to know how to help. I support children and teens through a child-centred, connection-focused approach that helps young people feel understood and supported, and more confident in navigating life’s challenges, while also working with parents and adults experiencing anxiety, grief, parenting stress, and life transitions. My own experiences with divorce and hospice volunteering have given me a deep understanding of grief, loss, and life transitions, and as a wife and mom, I value connection and creating safe spaces.

You're tired of hearing from teachers, fighting with your child at home, and feeling like nothing you try is working. You know your child isn’t a bad kid, you don't need the teacher to tell you that, but then why do they act like that?

I pursued a career in counselling because I enjoy listening to people, seeking to understand their experiences, and helping them with their challenges.

I have experience helping clients process and heal from a range of traumatic experiences, including abuse, motor vehicle accidents, loss, and crisis situations. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples who are looking to repair or strengthen their closeness and connection.

Life can feel heavy when you are carrying the weight of past experiences into your current relationships. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of pain or disconnection, unsure how to move forward. Youth and young adults often come in carrying depression symptoms, anxiety, family conflict, or questions of identity. Families may be longing to rebuild trust and connection or need support moving through grief. What they all want is to feel seen, supported, and to move toward more balance, clarity, and hope.

Being a human being is complicated, and often difficult, and we all need understanding and support from other people. I work as a counsellor because I want to provide that support and understanding, and I want to help people find and reclaim power in their lives, even in the face things they cannot change. I work as a team with my clients to build on their skills and strengths, figure out what coping strategies might not be working for them anymore, and find new ways of coping and being in the world. I work with all kinds of clients, and I am particularly interested in supporting neurodiverse, disabled, and chronically ill clients.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you want to be. Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, addiction, grief and loss, or ongoing anxiety, shame, or low self esteem. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of understanding, along with a space where you can slow down and feel genuinely heard. Often the goal is not to fix something, but to feel more grounded, regulated, and connected to yourself and your life.
