I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in New Westminster, BC, offering both in-person and virtual sessions. I specialise in trauma therapy for high-functioning adults — the emotional dysregulation, dissociation, chronic shame, and coping patterns that once helped but no longer serve — with particular depth working with LGBTQ+ clients.
My approach integrates EMDR, Ego States therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, informed by my background as a Registered Massage Therapist and training in Polyvagal Theory. This means I work with what your nervous system is holding, not just what you can articulate about it.
Many of my clients have tried therapy before and found it helpful but incomplete — like it got close but didn't reach the root. If that resonates, I'd encourage you to reach out.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation, direct bill Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Telus Health, and ICBC, and see clients at a reduced rate when needed.
