I accept both British Columbia and Ontario clients for individual and couples therapy. I specialize in the following areas but not limited to: Relationship / Marriage Issues, Grief & Loss, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Perinatal/Postpartum, Emotional Dysregulation, Life Transitions, and Emotional Abuse. I’m a dedicated Registered Social Worker (RSW) practitioner associated with the British Columbia College of Social Workers and The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology in Toronto, ON, followed by a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Erikson Institute in Chicago, IL, USA.
In couples counselling, I offer the Gottman Method approach which is an evidence-based practice with over a decade of research data providing effective ways with identifying where you may be stuck, gridlock issues, and etc. In individual therapy, I use a combination of modalities from CBT, DBT, SFBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Attachment-based style.
My experiences in healthcare from various hospital programs, maternal mental health research, and EAP counselling has given me the privilege to collaborate and support individuals, couples, and communities from diverse cultural backgrounds, which has enabled me to utilize a health equity and cultural-competence approach with individuals and couples I serve.
