I have expertise in childhood emotions and behaviours, anxiety and stress, celebrating 2SLGBTQ+ identities, self-harm, suicide prevention, trauma response, parenting, and school problems.
If you’re overwhelmed or stuck, or you’ve lost something precious, I can help. If your child is struggling with feelings, or behaviour, or learning, I can help with that, too. My strength lies in helping you identify and celebrate your own unique strengths. I'm certified by the CCPA, and for years I've worked with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I offer my clients empathy, respect, curiosity, and honesty.

I am a parent, an immigrant and a caregiver to elderly parents.
Are there aspects of your life where you feel stuck or have difficulty coping? Do you wish for closer connection in relationships? Are events from the past holding you back from leading a fulfilled life? My clients are adults including professionals, parents, seniors or students who grapple with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, grief and parenting. Taking that first step to seek counselling can be difficult and, from my own experience, finding a counsellor who is right for you may feel daunting and take time. I commend you for starting your search.

We all struggle at times. Whether it is a low mood that lingers too long, or anxiety that inhibits your life. Feeling like a failure, a bad parent, or like you just do not feel at home in your skin can start to feel like it poisons everything. Confidence dwindles, emotions feel too unpredictable, or stress seems to get under your skin more than it used to. You may be finding that your close relationships are more stressful than they used to be. Life may feel like it’s getting smaller and smaller. You know something has to change. It is time to reach out for help.

Throughout our work we have had the opportunity to assist people working through: anxiety, depression, negative thoughts addiction, dis-ordered eating practices, self-harm, suicidal thinking, ‘obsessive’ thinking, struggles with parenting, challenging behaviours with children and family/couples conflicts; sexual orientatio/identity; trauma, grief and loss.
VCAWC is a Vancouver based counselling clinic with many experience counsellors as well as a low rate student clinic. We work collaboratively with clients to explore the concerns in their lives. Although our practices are influenced by many therapeutic models, we primarily offer an approach called Narrative Therapy. Narrative Therapy is a collaborative approach to therapy that helps to centre people’s strengths, values, abilities and hopes. We believe that all people have relationships to problems. Through counselling—a journey of exploration with another person—we get to re-author that relationship and choose how we want to be.
