I am a Registered Clinical Counselor who is committed to helping people create lasting change in the way they experience their lives and their relationships. With my results-oriented approach, I can help you not only understand why it is that you do what you do but also how to make the changes necessary to experience life differently.

Through our work together, you will:

• Attain a better understanding of yourself – who you are and what you want
• Develop skills to create more fulfilling relationships in love, work and family
• Learn how to communicate with others so you feel heard and understood
• Increase assertiveness and self-esteem
• Overcome addictive behaviors and self-destructive habits
• Have a greater sense of enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning in your life
• Develop better ways to handle stress
• Learn to love yourself more

My rich and diverse background in counseling, transpersonal psychology, entrepreneurship and coaching results in a unique blend of depth psychology with the practical insights of personal development and goal achievement. I am trained in traditional “talk therapy” as well as expressive arts therapy and specialize in working with couples who want to improve their communication and intimacy, and with individuals who suffer from disordered eating. In addition, I help adolescents and adults with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties and abuse.

I am a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counselors and the BC Art Therapy Association. My clinical training includes: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Art therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Drama Therapy and Psychodrama.
