###Who I See
In my practice, I see couples, families, and individuals who are overwhelmed with difficult emotions. The couples I see are struggling to communicate with their loved one and feel alone, isolated, and misunderstood in their relationship. Communication has become a repetition of the same issues where nothing seems to get resolved, and feelings of doubt, anger, or withdrawal develop towards their partner. They want their partner to be there for them when they reach out, to be emotionally responsive, caring, and engaged. They want to feel emotionally safe and secure, to be able to trust implicitly and to be loved in return.

The families I see describe feeling frustrated and helpless. They’re struggling to communicate effectively with their teen as they grow and develop more independence, and describe scenarios of anger and defiance as common. I also see parents and adult children who are experiencing pain, hurt, and a deep sense of loss and grief in situations of family estrangement. They want to be a family again, but don’t know where to begin.
In individual therapy, I work with individuals who carry hurtful past experiences that are affecting their personal relationships and their sense of self. They feel unworthy, never good enough, and compare themselves to others. Some hide their true emotions beneath a mask of anger, withdrawal, or perfectionism. Some recall being a child and having no one who would listen to their feelings. They no longer trust others and often harbour an unspoken fear of abandonment. Others struggle with intense emotions and feel overwhelmed and powerless. They experience anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
###My Approach
I specialize in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and offer individual, couple, and family therapy in person at our Burnaby office and online. In family therapy, I see teens (13+ years of age) and adult children. EFT helps people understand their emotions and needs and learn to reduce overwhelming feelings. I also weave in elements of somatic therapy, which looks at the important connection between mind and body, in addition to other evidence-based approaches, such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), based on the individual needs of each client.
###About Me
I am registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and completed my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I am a Certified Complex Trauma Professional. I have over 20 years’ experience as a health professional, and enjoy working in private practice, seeing individuals, couples, and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and communication.
My extensive life experience helps me to understand and have compassion for clients’ struggles. I enjoy working with people, and am committed to helping my clients develop resiliency in overcoming life’s challenges to enjoy a happier, healthier life, with more positive emotions and increased self-confidence. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in this journey.
