I believe in connecting with people where they are and giving them choices and tools to move through their challenges. I love the use of metaphor and the use of narrative therapy (how you learn to tell your story can impact the outcome) Sometimes people don't know what they want and my job is to work with you to help clarify your goals for therapy. Other times people know what they want but feel stuck in figuring out a way to reach their goals. For most people therapy is short term and we can develop a plan that fits your needs and budget.

I have worked as a teacher/ counsellor in the public school system for nearly 30 years with children of all ages from K-12. I completed a Masters degree (Counselling) in 2018 and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC (16856) . I enjoy working primarily with couples and individual adults. At some point most everyone longs to be heard by an objective listener – I look forward to this opportunity.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Have feelings of depression got your down? Or are you just feeling "lost"? I have worked with a variety of clients, and as an anti-oppressive social worker, I have many 'tools' to help, including cognitive behavioural therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy and more. I firmly believe that the client is the expert and they know what they need to change; and my job is to help facilitate that.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
