Heal from your wounds.
Improve your relationships.
Reach your potential.

Welcome. Let's get started.

As a therapist, my mission and purpose is to help individuals and couples lead happy, meaningful, fulfilling lives. I am a Registered Psychologist providing counselling services to people living in British Columbia. I currently only offer counselling online via videoconferencing/telehealth (no in-person sessions at this time). I am honoured to serve clients from all areas of British Columbia.

I use an integrative, relational, strength-based, and non-judgemental approach in therapy. I draw from a number of psychological theories including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), family systems, and trauma-informed approaches like prolonged exposure (PE). I integrate research-based interventions and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs.

I believe in creating a therapeutic atmosphere for you that is welcoming, comforting, tranquil, and supportive. I believe in working collaboratively with you to help you heal and achieve your goals. I bring a spirit of care, compassion, and humour to our work.

My main areas of expertise are:

• Trauma / PTSD
• Relationship concerns (e.g., couples counselling)

In addition, I regularly support clients in the following:

• Anxiety (generalized, panic attacks, social anxiety)
• Depression
• Grief/Loss/Bereavement
• Life Transitions
• Exploring Identity
• Anger Management
• Stress Management
• Communication
• Assertiveness

I have specialized training and/or experience with the following populations:

• Military personnel (currently serving and veterans)
• First Responders and Public Safety Personnel (e.g., police, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, correctional officers, border security)
• Health care professionals (e.g., nurses, physicians, residents, medical students)
