Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (3329), a professional designation of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, with an office in Vancouver. I completed a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Victoria.

Have you been dealing with a problem that is not getting better? Do you feel "stuck" or overwhelmed? Perhaps you are interested in healing or personal growth. I offer individual and couples counselling for adults who may be experiencing one or more of the following concerns:

• Anti-Oppression, Anti-Racism and Intersectionality (e.g. African-Caribbean trans person, Jewish man with a disability)

• Sexuality and Sexual Orientation (e.g. bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer, questioning, asexual, polyamorous, etc.)

• Gender Identity (e.g. Two Spirit, intersex, transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, etc.)

• Couples and Relationship issues

• Stress Reduction

• Anxiety and Depression

• Anger Management, Assertiveness and Healthy Boundaries

• Grief and Loss

• Life Transitions

• Other Concerns

Sometimes it helps to talk with a caring, skilled professional who is trained to assist you. As a compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental therapist, I give clients space to explore their concerns and feelings in a safe, trusting environment. Warm, empathetic, understanding and genuine describe me as well. My hope is that you will feel understood, supported and accepted in our work together.

My approach is focussed on your unique strengths, needs and goals. I integrate client-centered, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioural, anti-oppressive, emotionally-focussed therapy for couples and systems perpectives to tailor a plan that fits for you. (Please see my second page for more information about these approaches.) If it may benefit you, we could use Eastern practices, such as meditation and mindfulness, which is intentional, non-judgmental awareness of one's experience in the present moment.

Ideally, we would work as a team, with you being the expert on your life, feelings and situation and me offering insight about psychology, behaviour and relationships. I move beyond deep listening to help you learn another perspective, tools or skills for promoting better coping, well-being, and empowerment. Depending on our work together, you may gain greater understanding, confidence and improved relationships.

Practicing mindfulness regularly and having experienced counselling as a client have helped me to be an effective therapist. I believe in ongoing training, supervision and professional development. For example, I have completed “Introduction to Anti-Oppression Psychotherapy” by Continuing Healing Consultants and "Emotionally Focussed Therapy for Couples" by the Vancouver Couple and Family Institute, both of which involved four days of training each.

If you are unsure if I could assist you, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your situation and clarify whether I could be of service. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to help you decide if we would be a good fit.

Some extended health plans reimburse all or part of the fees charged by a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I can see clients through ICBC or the Crime Victim Assistance Program. If you are in financial need, please contact me to discuss payment options.
