Individuals

When you combine evidenced based interventions with compassion and curiosity, good things happen! This is how I assist you in reaching your goals; I work with adolescents, adults and couples.

Since 2007, my clients and I work on goals related to: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, navigating challenging life transitions, relationship issues including infidelity, separation and divorce, and ongoing life stress management.

Many insurance providers cover the expenses of working with an RCC. Life is understandably challenging as we go through phases and chapters, in addition to the current stressors of life in 2025.

Treatment modalities I regularly use, in addition to some of my practice history:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy & Stress Reduction (MBCT & MBSR)

  • The Bader-Pearson Developmental Model & Gottman Couples Approaches

  • I am registered with CVAP and I direct bill to this provincial provider. I have extensive experience working with those who are victims of crime

  • I provide counselling services and medical legal reports regarding personal injury and ICBC claims. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families that have experienced an MVA across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Toronto, and the GTA

  • Working in vocational rehabilitation consulting and counselling, I previously assisted people across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario who were taking medical leaves via PsychoVocational Assessment, Resource Planning and Return to Work initiatives.  I have worked with clients across all sectors and assisted people from diverse backgrounds

Couples

  • Couples often arrive in the counselling office frustrated and tired of cyclical conflict patterns... I'm here to help with that.
    You can learn how to understand and manage the difficult emotions that get triggered in partnership conflict and see your relationship through a new lens, for a more clear vision, with a deeper sense of fulfillment. We'll look at how you got to where you are in your relationship, and assist you with the tools you'll need for the challenging growth inherent in our partnerships

  • I truly hope to normalize ‘enmeshment stuff’, see the positives of it, but importantly help you to understand the limits this places on a relationship and provide a path beyond the ‘blame and defend’ cycles of conflict that are so common to us humans. Often couples leave sessions feeling better understood with improved pathways for connection and communication, but this can take time and focus and commitment

  • You can expect me to offer redirections and coaching w regards to finding helpful ways to communicate and relay functional communication that encourages growth, real change, ownership, accountability and connection
