Let me pour you a cup of coffee or tea, while we sit and talk. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary or daunting. I'm here to support you in coming to understand your struggles & making the changes you want to make in your life, while finding some peace & calm in the process. Life is far too precious & much too short to have grief, loss, trauma, anxiety or conflict take over. We aren't meant to surrender to conflict ridden relationships, or to live a life where past traumas or our grief keep us from truly living. Relationships with our parents, partners, friends, family or coworkers don't have to leave us drained & doubting ourselves.

As my mentors have helped me in my life, and as they have guided me through difficult points of self-growth and reflection, I have come to learn the value of being there for others to progress through our own difficult times. We need each other. I do believe it is far less problematic to overcome challenges with guidance and direction. Even more so when that guidance is refined through education, experience, and a standardized expectation of practice. I am capable of direct billing for ICBC and CVAP and can be accepted through other insurance agencies (i.e. Sunlife, BlueCross, GreenShield)

Are you unhappy in your relationship but scared of change? Division of assets or splitting parenting time often leaves us in a state of fear of what we would lose rather than exploring what we may gain. We fall in love and create a vision of our ideal relationship, but how do we grow together to create it? I’m here to help you get to the next level of your relationship. When complaints turn to criticism and you’re stuck in a detrimental pattern, it 's hard to see how your relationship can improve.

Life never seems to follow the map we drew out exactly how we would like. Despite the plans we create, human nature is to engage in relationships, which are almost always unpredictable and can cause conflict and challenges. My goal is to help support you while you process, navigate, and explore the unexpected in life in a safe space. My approach to counselling is to create a warm, understanding, client-centred environment to support you with compassion, and empathy, and view your situation holistically.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counsellors
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will.
