Welcome! I have a PhD in clinical psychology and I offer coaching in private practice, online. I show clients, through embodied experience, how to relate to and navigate emotions and inner experiences in ways that better identify and meet their emotional needs. I offer a completely safe, non-judgement space where I will welcome and show you how to accept every part of you. My approach is embodied, practical, directive, and structured with offered tools, strategies, and instructions. It is grounded in mindfulness, somatics, and whole-self acceptance. The outcome of this is relief, peace, grounding, and inner trust, and self-worth.

At New Heights, we specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We are proud to say that we are Vancouver's only such Clinic. OCD is often recognized and treated as any other anxiety disorder resulting in treatment that is non-effective, and, at times, counter productive. Although OCD is an anxiety-based disorder, the treatment protocols are unique and highly specialized. It is our belief that OCD warrants its own specialty, and we are committed to providing evidence based therapy that reflects current research and best practice. We acknowledge the degree to which this condition is under-serviced and under-recognized amongst mental health professionals and the public mental health system.

I have a passion for working with youths, young adults, couples, and families on personal and relationship issues. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy and I have experience working with youths and their families. I understand the difficulties of teenage development, but at the same time, I can appreciate how difficult it is to parent an adolescent. However, the "rebellious teen" is not inevitable and I would be happy to meet with you and your family to discuss your relationships and strategies for making parenting work.

As a relational therapist, I specialize in experientially working with self-discovery, relationship health, intimacy, and attachment. I find what is often missing in our lives are the deeply attuned connections where we feel heard, seen and understood. My goal is to create a space for people who want to face what’s blocking them so that they can live fully integrated lives. Generally, I operate from an intersection of neuroscience, attachment framework and a deep understanding of relational dynamics. In my practice I welcome all individuals, couples, and folks in multi-partner/poly relationships across the entire sexuality spectrum.

Sometimes the ways that the past affects the present are unclear or unknown, and sometimes we have a sense that people or experiences in our past affect us today. Negative life experiences and conflict in our past can affect our mood, self-esteem, and overall wellness. We may logically know we shouldn't be affected this way or reacting so strongly or intensely, but reacting differently and feeling better is not so simple. I work with people who are carrying something from their past, often from family related conflict and challenges, that affects them today in ways that are no longer helpful.
