Find a Therapist in Canada

I am trauma and attachment therapist working with clients who have experienced childhood-developmental trauma, relational trauma, intimate partner abuse, bullying, or PTSD. Clients that arrive with multiple presentations or have experience traumatic events tend to struggle with on-going states of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, become labelled as bipolar and experience borderline personality disorder. My purpose is to help clients to connect with their bodies, mind and brain to achieve better understanding of them-selves and build clarity, self-regulation and resilience.  

Choosing a Counsellor or Psychotherapist is a very personal process. It can be difficult to take that first step, even if it is not your first time in therapy. I am a Vancouver based Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice. I offer both in person and online sessions. I also offer 15 minute free telephone consults to help you decide if you feel the connection you need to enter into this very vulnerable and personal relationship. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC College of Social Workers, and have my Master of Social Work (MSW) from UBC; a Bachelor of Arts (BA), in Psychology; and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), both from McMaster University. I have over 22 years of extensive clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work with all ages on any issues that are getting in the way of the client experiencing life to its fullest in the very personal way they want to live.  

I offer low-cost therapy services for anyone in need of a space to feel respected and heard. Rather than instructing you on what to do, my preference is to learn about your upbringing and all that you've experienced, so that I can better understand the source of your feelings. I've found that once clients can recognize the 'why' behind their emotions, reestablishing control over their lives becomes achievable. From start to finish, you'll be completely supported throughout your therapeutic journey. I specialize in anger management, addiction (online gambling), burnout, men's issues, and ADHD management. Of course, you're welcome to bring anything into our sessions. Whatever the topic of our work together, it'll always be conducted in a zero judgement space. You deserve to be supported and cared for. Those challenges you've been facing can be overcome with the help of a professional. If you're in need of a safe space where you can openly explore your feelings and find a way forward, feel free to reach out so we can get our first session together started.  

Now Accepting New Clients: Many people come to therapy feeling caught in cycles of self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel hard to change—even when they understand them logically. You might notice swings between over-control and feeling out of control, or a sense that you’re stuck repeating the same patterns without lasting relief. I offer a supportive space where we can slow things down and begin to understand what’s happening underneath these cycles, not just manage the surface-level symptoms.

*Accepting New Clients* My journey in medicine and public health has taught me that healing requires more than simply treating symptoms, it requires an understating of the individual, their culture, and any barriers they have faced navigating support. My approach to therapy is both empathetic and collaborative, focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance to ensure you feel both heard and understood. My goal is to create a safe space to allow you to explore your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions, while we integrate your personal experiences and values, to allow us to address any underlying issues that may exist and develop practical strategies for improvement. I am dedicated to helping you achieve the meaningful and lasting change you are seeking in your life. I work with individuals, families and youth aged 10+ and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.  

I specialize in working with people struggling with ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I have deep empathy for the experience of anxiety and relationship struggles, and I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. I know that anxiety often comes from a place of just wanting to get it right, and I'm skilled in working through the underlying issues that contribute to anxiety so that you can feel confident and secure instead of frozen and stalled. I understand how anxiety affects all stages of relationships (including finding a partner in the first place) and I support my clients to move from feeling lonely and disconnected to confident and secure. In addition to my individual work, I offer evidence-based couples' counselling using the Gottman method, which goes beyond just communication skills and gives practical strategies to create real change.
