I am a trauma counsellor working out of Surrey and White Rock BC and have taken specialized courses in this area. As a trauma therapist, I help clients heal from the underlying wound (s) that are getting in the way of their ability to thrive in everyday life. I work at a pace that is tailored to each client for the best results. I focus on connecting with clients on a deep level so that they feel safe, seen and secure while working with me.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a journey into the past. So much of what our brain takes in, and accepts as truth, enters the brain subconsciously. Exploring past life experiencing and allowing oneself to fully chew them up (so they can be properly stored and not triggered at in opportune times), is often essential to moving on. This is often a particular issue with childhood trauma. Nothing is as rewarding as seeing one of my clients push through an unconscious block and be able to get on with their life again.

While my approach is tailored to each client's needs, I predominantly use CBT with a neurobiological lens as my main approach in psychotherapy. I aim to help individuals identify the interconnection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and environment. Evidence-based therapies such as CBT have shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger management, OCD, personality disorders, and ADHD.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

Throughout my life and educational career, I have learned the benefits of understanding how our brain and body develop and impact each other. The brain is like any other body part - when injured or not functioning properly, it requires proper attention and care to heal and strengthen it back to a higher functioning state. It is with this knowledge that we can begin to understand ourselves and our own reactions more. My goal is to help you find a path towards self-compassion and a clearer sense of self, while also working together to seek out alternative solutions to create a healthier mindset.

In psychotherapy, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of their thought processes and the origins of these patterns. We explore childhood experiences, adolescence, and adulthood to uncover how their core beliefs were formed. This journey allows clients to recognize behavior patterns and the emotions tied to those experiences, empowering them to manage their feelings and cultivate positive self-beliefs.

My qualifications include a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.

Both of these methodologies are evidence-based practices that have been demonstrated to be effective with a variety of situations and symptoms. I recognize that each individual has a unique set of circumstances and perspectives, so with this in mind, I will work collaboratively with you to determine your strengths, needs, areas of growth, and go

In psychotherapy, the foundation of our work is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and collaboration. You bring deep knowledge of yourself and your situation; I bring clinical skills and an outside perspective. Together, we create meaningful change. Our approach balances structure and flexibility—focused enough to work toward your goals, yet open to whatever thoughts and feelings arise each session. This allows therapy to feel natural and responsive to your actual experience rather than following a rigid formula. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck, you'll find a collaborative partnership where you're genuinely heard as we work toward the changes you need in your life.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

My approach to psychotherapy is person-centered and collaborative, focusing on each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I integrate insights from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic and attachment perspectives to understand how past experiences shape present patterns. I am also influenced by existential philosophy, which emphasizes authenticity, freedom, and responsibility in shaping one’s life. In addition, I draw on René Girard’s theory of imitation (mimesis) to explore how social pressures and comparisons can influence identity, relationships, and personal goals.

Psychotherapy is a deeper subset of counselling, that works to discover and identify longstanding patterns and themes by which an individual views the world and their life. We all have a sense of how the world works, but rarely do people shift their awareness to a particular theme and explored how it impacts their life. In doing so, one is able to explore new ways of interpreting their past, present experiences, and future choices.
