I believe the foundation of great therapy is rooted in the development of a positive relationship with your therapist. With this knowledge, it is my goal to co-create an environment in which you feel heard, understood, and safe. Using evidence-based therapies I can guide and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change. 

My practice focuses on supporting adults, teens, and couples struggling with relationship difficulties and trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also have an abundance of experience working with perinatal mental health, parenting difficulties, seniors, and caregiver stress. 

During our work together, I will draw upon my knowledge and training to tailor my approach to best meet your needs. I bring compassion, warmth, and curiosity while we employ tools like mindfulness, reflective practice, body awareness, and the development of coping, communication, and regulation skills. I value transparency and want you to understand what we are doing and why, so that I can support you in better knowing yourself, understanding where you are getting stuck, and attaining the goals you have. 

I have a Masters degree in Social Work from McGill University and am a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW #17215) with the British Columbia College of Social Workers. An RCSW is a separate class of registration that recognizes advanced practice skills and clinical knowledge. I am also a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC # 24887). 

I have over a decade of extensive work experience in a wide range of community and private settings, working with clients of all ages across the lifespan. I deeply recognize the importance of understanding how our relationships and lived experiences shape who we are, and how they impact the ways we relate to others and the world around us.  

After training in various approaches, I have adopted a theoretical orientation that is relational, experiential, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed. Integrating various modalities as our work together develops to best meet your individual or couple needs.
