I am a psychotherapist with more than twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples. People often come to me when life feels stuck, confusing, or overwhelming—when old patterns return, emotions feel difficult to manage, or relationships are strained. My work focuses on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface so that meaningful and lasting change can take shape.

I work from a depth-oriented and relational approach. This means I pay close attention to underlying patterns, emotional dynamics, and the inner movements that shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Together, we explore what is contributing to present symptoms—whether anxiety, depression, grief, stress, anger, relational challenges, or a sense of being overwhelmed or off-course.

Over the years I have supported clients through many forms of difficulty, including life transitions, identity shifts, communication challenges, emotional disconnection, and long-standing relational patterns. My approach is not about quick fixes or surface-level techniques; it is about creating a steady space where clarity, insight, and new ways of relating can emerge.

I completed my graduate training in Santa Barbara, California, with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and advanced post-graduate training in depth psychotherapy. Since then, I have continued to study and refine my work through additional clinical training in British Columbia and the United States. My background includes extensive experience with both individual therapy and couples therapy.

Clients often describe me as grounded, attuned, and easy to talk to. I aim to offer a space where people can slow down, make sense of what is happening internally, and move toward greater emotional stability, clarity, and connection.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Registered Psychotherapist, and I maintain ongoing professional development to ensure that my work remains ethically grounded and clinically informed.
Therapy is a collaborative process. It is a privilege to sit with people as they navigate change, explore what has been long avoided, and move toward a more integrated and meaningful life.
