My Approach

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds to create a safe and confidential space where you feel comfortable and heard. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in compassion and respect for your unique experiences. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and psychological flexibility.

My work draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy, while also incorporating Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed skills and other therapies when helpful. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and strengths. I have completed training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills (ASIST), as well as training in conflict resolution, negotiation, and mediation through the Justice Institute of BC. I continue to strengthen my practice through ongoing clinical supervision and professional development. Although I cannot diagnose mental health conditions, screening for mental health conditions will be an important part of our counselling process. This screening can provide additional information for you to discuss with your care provider. If you're considering counselling, I'd be honoured to support you as you take the next step.
