Registered Counselor

“I am an experienced and creative PsychotherapistI who works with individuals in a safe, inclusive, and caring environment.”

About Me

As an experienced and creative psychotherapist, I guide individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings freely. Here, you can bring your whole self, finding new perspectives without judgment. We'll thoughtfully navigate challenges together, adapting our approach to suit your unique journey. If you seek a warm, collaborative environment to make sense of life's complexities, this is for you.

Approach

You'll find sessions move at a thoughtful, steady pace where curiosity and practical steps alternate to match your needs. Whether in Vancouver or online in English, we build a respectful, contained space to explore history, relationships, and how they show up today. I blend EMDR when it fits with reflective conversation and concrete coping strategies, and often suggest small, doable experiments between sessions to test new patterns. This way of working tends to suit people healing from trauma, navigating transitions, or wanting clearer self-understanding.
