As a registered clinical social worker (RCSW) in British Columbia, I provide counselling for personal, relational, and professional issues. I take an integral approach to healing that recognizes the interdependence of body, mind, and spirit. The most critical part of this process is the psychotherapy relationship. Together we will explore your core beliefs and ways of being to see what is working for you and what you might want to change to enhance your growth and development and to live a more fulfilling life.
I integrate mindfulness and other practical, evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) with insight-oriented psychodynamic and narrative models of counselling. I welcome your feedback to tailor your counselling experience so that it works best for you.
My background is diverse. Prior to being a counsellor, I worked as an engineer, a teacher, and a facilitator. Learning to listen to my inner wisdom has helped guide my career choices. I believe meaningful work is a critical part of happiness. When your heart speaks, take good notes.
I encourage clients to create balance in their lives. I moved to Vancouver for the social and cultural opportunities balanced with the epic nature in our backyard. I humbly acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish people. I don’t take this for granted. I avidly enjoy hiking, skiing, swimming, yoga, volunteering, independent cinema, and healthy cuisine.
