While pain is inevitable in our lives, counselling can provide you the support you need to help reduce the suffering you are experiencing. The relationship between a counsellor and client is the most important indicator of success in therapy, and with me you will find a counsellor that is compassionate, genuine, non-judgmental, and transparent. Together we can explore the larger context of your current difficulties to help you better understand your experience, feel more agency and ability to cope, and build upon your strengths and resilience.

I'm so glad you are here, and I hope to share a little about how I work and a little about myself along the way as well. I truly believe that fit is one of the most important parts about therapy & getting started can be often be one of the toughest parts. I am Registered Social Worker (RSW) & Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and have been working in various counselling roles over the past 10 years. I work from an intersectional feminist lens and notice the impact of gender, ableism, class, sexual orientation, race & socioeconomic status can have on mental health. I truly believe that 'feminism is for everybody'.

Relationships issues, life transitions, and grief, are topics especially close to my heart. Together, we can clarify your values and what you're looking for in a partner, explore strategies for communicating more effectively in your relationships, use insight and self-compassion to disrupt destructive patterns of behavior, or help you come to terms with a devastating break-up.

Often becoming a parent- or struggling to become one- can leave us vulnerable and anxious in a way we have never before experienced. I feel a strong calling to offer help to individuals and families journeying through the reproductive years. I want to support you through struggles with fertility, or the grief after pregnancy loss. I can help with traumatic birth experiences, difficulties transitioning to parenthood, or relationship difficulties associated with any of these events.

I am passionate about my work, and have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to helping people create change. My clients are dealing with real life issues - relationships, fertility struggles, adjustment to parenthood, family of origin dynamics, and major life transitions. I aim to create a space where clients are free to explore their fears, doubts, strengths, and needs. Some clients require a faster, more solution-focused therapy process, while others want to meet regularly and have that person to continually connect with and receive support from. I am open to both and see it as a privilege to be invited into people’s lives.

Therapy is a unique relationship where you can learn about yourself, your past, and who you would like to be, through a process of analysis, discussion, acceptance, and integration. A therapeutic relationship is a space where you can speak openly and freely with a person who is trained to listen and provide insight otherwise not available to you. As a therapist, I meet you where you are at as a person, and try to understand your goals, your background, and your pain. The process is meant to lead to greater interior freedom, that can reverberate out into all aspects of your life.

Are you a member of a marginalized community (women, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, people with mental health issues, etc.)? You matter, and you deserve to experience the transformative possibilities of a strong therapeutic relationship. My passion is supporting people with marginalized identities and their allies. Through our work together, I have witnessed many clients recognize their resiliency, regain their power, and realize their potential. Life ebbs and flows with challenges, triumphs, and everything in between. No matter where you are in your life’s journey, counselling can provide a safe space for exploration and discovery.

Whether you want to move past your past, feel better in the present, or stop worrying about your future — I can help. We are all individuals striving to be a better version of ourselves. What “better” looks like is different for everyone and yours can only be defined by you. My role is to support and guide you in understanding your challenges, defining your desired outcomes, and creating your “better”. Whether it’s learning to cope with anxiety or depression, improving relationships, exploring your identity, or something else that is keeping you stuck, I can help.

My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. I emphasize the importance of a strong, compassionate therapeutic relationship and work primarily from a trauma informed, client-centered model. I incorporate elements of emotion focused, narrative, dialectical behavioural, internal family systems, parts work, attachment, strengths/resiliency based, and somatic approaches. I primarily work from a process oriented place by working on issues brought up in the moment and spending time breaking down the beliefs, emotions, and behaviours that accompany each issue.

It takes courage to seek and begin therapy, and I value and respect that. I am passionate about working with all people, however they choose to identify themselves. I work with adults, young to old. I consider each individual as a "world unto themself"; I work with your goals, your spark, your way. My goal is to help you find the tools to move towards what you most want. I'm on your side. I draw from therapies such as solution focused, trauma based, CBT and ACT. Possibility lies in the present - what we do, how we choose to act, alone and with others - this is the arena of change.

The people I work with often tell me they experience intense, difficult emotions that are hard to control, often leading to harmful coping behaviours and relationship turmoil. Taking a behavioural approach, we work together to develop strategies and tools that support a more fulfilling life—what is referred to in DBT as a "life experienced as worth living.” Wellness tools and strategies we use are informed by DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but I believe it is the trusting and supportive relationship we build that forms the foundation upon which this challenging yet rewarding work is done.

My work is relational, emotion-focused, and experiential. Relational means establishing a unique and real connection with people — i.e. not being a “blank slate” therapist. Emotion-focused means helping people pay attention to old emotional patterns that may no longer be serving them. Experiential means going beyond just talking about patterns. It means offering actual in-session experiences of doing things a different way — working together to form new and preferred patterns that are conducive to one’s therapy goal(s).

I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) who provides individual therapy/counselling services in British Columbia. My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and draws largely from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Narrative approaches. I believe each person is the expert in their own life and inherently has the knowledge and resources necessary to guide the therapeutic process, make changes, and move toward their preferred ways of living. I am here to support you in this process.

Welcome and thank you for being here. Whether you are new to therapy or returning for support, I can help you get unstuck, increase awareness, build practical skills, address underlying themes, break patterns, set boundaries, and get back to a place of greater connectedness to yourself and others. My approach to counselling strives to provide you with a compassionate and validating space to do your inner work. There’s nothing “too small/big” or “weird” that can’t be talked about in therapy so long as you feel safe enough to do so. My aim is to ensure you feel heard, understood, supported and safe in therapy.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
