Waitlist for new clients
Therapy is a dynamic exchange between two people; as a client you are gently invited to bring all parts of yourself – confusion, joy, brokenness and insight – through the process of acceptance, integration, and healing.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need someone to lean on. I'm here to listen and support you in a non-judgemental way. Our main goal is to help you curate strong self-awareness so that we can explore how your current functioning is impacted by the patterns you've learned early in life. Sometimes these ingrained, automatic habits no longer serve us, so together we can start creating new responses that better fit your current self!

Do you have a parent or partner who is telling you that maybe you need to "get some help"? Or does it feel like your life (procrastination, anxiety, sadness, anger) is stuck or out of control and something needs to change?

Let me guess, there's a part of you that wants to try out counselling and another that is skeptical of whether it will work. Perhaps you tried it before and it seemed like a waste of time and money. As a skeptic myself, I'm amazed at the inner healing I've experienced after finding the right counsellor! As a trained trauma therapist, my aim is to connect with you on a deep level so you can feel safe, seen and secure in each session. Together, we can come up with a plan to achieve your goals and work through your deepest issues, whether that be unresolved PTSD, trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, or depression.

As a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) counsellor who is also a Christian believer, I integrate my therapeutic approaches and incorporate cultural and spiritual values through narrative therapy.
Hello there, are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Are you looking for change but feel like you are going in circles and not making progress? Do you feel haunted by traumatic experience in the past? Life is joyful and precious but oftentimes it can throw you a curveball. How would meeting with a counsellor help? Counselling is a beautifully collaborative work where you would be invited to unfold your own story and rewrite it with new meanings. Strengths are identified, goals are met, skills are learnt, and changes are made in the safe and accepting therapeutic process.

I have experience working with numerous issues, including: anxiety, religious trauma and spiritual deconstruction, relationship issues, Christian faith issues, and embodiment.
Being human is beautifully weird, and painfully difficult. As a therapist, I am less interested in providing pat answers about this human experience, and more interested in creating shame-free spaces where we can lean into its mysteries and learn from it. I believe that therapy can be a transformational experience where we experience change as we are held and seen by another, and it is my great privilege to walk with those who are willing to share their stories with me.

I have a degree in Theology, so I can access a faith-based, Christian lens for those who request it.
Hi, I'm a Vancouver-based Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC, offering virtual counselling sessions. I'm known for creating deep connections with my clients, and have a warm, down-to-earth presence. The goals of my work are to help clients both identify and process their emotions in healthy, manageable ways, as well as build secure, fulfilling and boundaried relationships with others. Not the least of which is the relationship the client has with 'self'. Who are you at your core? This important information helps combat things like insecurity, indecisiveness, perfectionism, loneliness and lack of direction.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?

Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?

Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?

While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?

The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
