Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

I am a professional Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I provide individual and couples counselling. I have been a counsellor for ten years.

As I see it, my job is to work with your better self. Whatever your issue, I assume that you have many resources—intelligence, conviction, determination, as examples--but that these resources are not being fully utilized. I provide a safe space for you to talk about what you’re going through to help you positively shift the way you feel and think about yourself and the world. From there, I will help you set realistic goals and make practical plans so you can make the changes you want to make.

My approach is professional and friendly with a sense of humour where appropriate. I make every effort to adjust respectfully to your way of being. And I hope you’ll accept my constructive challenges to your way of being as well. There are many ways to do therapy. My work with clients is always collaborative and adapted to best suit you.

Along with your specific concerns, I often help clients cultivate a greater sense of independence, agency and self worth.

In a given session my role might include:

• Listening closely to your story and concerns
• Examining why certain situations in your life typically go sideways
• Helping you identify and cultivate resources you already possess
• Helping you identify and change self-defeating assumptions and behaviour
• Helping you engage with and shift your feelings about things
• Helping you come up with concrete solutions to specific problems
• Helping you develop a general wellness program
• Tapping into different parts of your self with EMDR, TIR, visualization, psychodrama or meditation
• Engaging family members in the counselling process
• Discussing spiritual questions
• Helping you motivate yourself
• Helping you understand how your present way of doing things fits into your life history.

I will, if you are so inclined, give you homework and help plug you into community resources. Counselling can be costly. Outside activities are always helpful and usually free.

I offer a free 25 minute consultation.

I am an approved counsellor in the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP, for victims of crime, their close family members, and some witnesses).

I am an approved counsellor in the Residential Historical Abuse Program (RHAP, for people who were sexually abused as children in BC funded residences/homes or BC operated residential facilities).

I am a contracted counsellor in BC’s Responsible Gambling Program (for problem gamblers and affected others).

I see ICBC clients for trauma work.

I am a member of EMDR Canada. EMDR therapy is a highly effective form of psychotherapy used primarily for trauma, both Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the smaller “t” traumas of childhood and everyday life.

If you are planning to use Extended Health Care, please check if my services as a Registered Clinical Counsellor are covered.

I offer a sliding scale for those with financial considerations.
