Grief Therapists in Vancouver, BC
I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ communities; with substance use and addiction concerns; and with people affected by loss, illness and trauma.
I draw on the commonalities that exist between therapeutic approaches, and am aligned with anti-oppression perspectives. I utilize deep, introspective practices and pragmatic, solution-oriented practices to help clients cultivate greater self-compassion; achieve greater effectiveness in their relationships and communities; and grow towards deeper fulfillment in their lives. I am also able to offer a truly holistic therapy, combining talk therapy, mindfulness, and movement. I am a good fit for those impacted by marginalization, those with shame and self-esteem challenges, those impacted by trauma and addiction, and for couples.

**Video and phone sessions available to all BC residents** You may be feeling like this pandemic has upended your life, creating uncertainty, anxiety, or intensifying those feelings that had been trailing behind you for some time. The layers of loss during this pandemic is hard to hold on your own, and may be exacerbating loneliness, anxiety, previous trauma, and negative self talk. You may be considering making a change, and despite the limitations that this pandemic brings, you want to shape your life in a way that feels rich and meaningful to you.

Life’s hardships can break us into pieces. We may feel like we want to throw in the towel. We might lose our confidence in ourselves. We might be oppressed, feeling depressed. We might feel lonely. We might be going through major transitions, grief, heartbreaks. No matter how hard life can get, we can always find the path to freedom. That is where therapy comes in. Therapy encourages you to face life’s hardships willingly, with courage and trust that can be hard to cultivate otherwise.

My areas of treatment include: Adult and Early Childhood Trauma, Male and Female Survivors of Sexual Abuse, Couples Counselling, Parent-Child Relationships, Career Transitions, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Loss, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Grief, Senior Issues, LGBTQ awareness, Eating Disorders, Educational Counselling.
Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

I work with clients who want to find relief from their struggles with the following: depression, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, worthlessness, despair, disordered eating, life/work transitions, addiction (substances, pornography and gambling), and the negative impact of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and poverty. Often in the beginning, people come in feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and may be clearer initially of what isn't working for them or what they no longer want in their life. I believe these feelings are a resource to reveal what you do want in your life, what's important to you, your values, hopes, dreams and commitments.
