Registered Counsellor with the Crime Victim Services Program of British Columbia.

Previous Counselling Experience

Before I began my private practice in relationships and couples counselling, I was a contract counsellor for the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BCSPCA). My work there focused on counselling employees whose high-stress job took a toll on their relationships.

I have, therefore, developed an interest and expertise in helping people in emotionally demanding jobs improve their relationships. Without counselling, the relationships of many of the people I have helped would not have survived.I understand that many of us live and work in high stress careers or life circumstances, and I am here to help ensure that these pressures do not negatively affect your personal relationships. In fact, I’m here to help your personal relationships grow, regardless of external stressors or pressures.

Relationships are at the core of who we are and who we would like to become. Through counselling, I can help you navigate the relationship journey and develop a better love.
