Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

I feel my whole life has set me up to be a counsellor. I grew up with a very young mom who treated me like an equal and allowed me to make decisions and be a curious independent thinker. I had  some family members with  health issues and challenges so I learned from an early age to be accepting of differences and be compassionate regarding the struggles and pain of others. Those experiences have served me well throughout my life both in assisting my clients and with having my own child with a chronic illness.

As a teen I was a confidant for others. It felt good to have their trust and respect and to be able to help in some way. In humble beginnings I learned the merits of hard work and goal setting to make my life better. Luckily, I had a solid group of wonderful friends who gave me many opportunities to develop relationship skills.

I worked my way slowly through university and became a Special Education teacher. Working with special needs children further reinforced my capacity to accept people for who they were and where they were at in their lives. I was a student in many ways, learning the art of patience, understanding and clear communication.

For the last 15 yrs of my teaching career I taught children who were chronically ill, battling cancer, or mental health issues. In this role I learned the skill of ‘listening for feelings’, which launched my desire to receive further training to help people with their emotional struggles and life challenges.

I have been a clinical counselor since 1999 primarily focusing on personal struggles including challenging relationships, anxiety, depression, as well as personal development including communication skills, goal setting and self-awareness. I have also been a school counselor and behaviour specialist with the Surrey School District.

I love what I do and feel extremely privileged that people allow me to enter their lives to help them. I work very hard to discover the patterns that exist in peoples’ lives and to find a way to use their positive actions to manage their difficulties better or eliminate them altogether.

I have many life experiences to draw on. I am happily married to an amazing man who is quite opposite to me and we have 3 grown sons. Living with 4 males led me to study ‘the male persona’ by researching gender differences and studying Deborah Tannen, Kevin Leman, Dr. Laura, John Gray, Gottman, and many others. I feel I have a good understanding of what men and women want and need and how they can have the best relationship possible.

In my practice I educate and I am constantly learning and developing new coping strategies to help others and myself. I believe in the power of positive relationships including the therapeutic relationship. Come let me guide you, at any age, to discover the possibilities for change and empowerment.
