Family Therapy in North Vancouver, BC

I authentically connect with children, youth and families, and have experience working with clients who are at-risk. I use a client-centered, holistic approach, meaning I focus on helping the individual work on their "whole self". I also work with my clients collaboratively, understanding differing needs.

I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor who loves working with children, teenagers, adults and parents toward a fulfilling life that is envisioned by them. I believe that seeking counselling is one of the most important decisions that people can make for themselves and their loved ones. Embarking on a journey of self growth and healing can be difficult; yet, I know firsthand that the results are worthwhile. Most clients work with me to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, marital challenges, family conflicts, phobias and ADHD.

I provide psychological services (i.e., assessment and therapy) to children, adolescents, and their families. I offer services to youth experiencing a range of difficulties, including: anxiety, selective mutism, OCD, depression, suicidal ideation, ADHD, behavioural and learning problems, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), pediatric health conditions (e.g., selective eating, sleep problems), interpersonal problems, and difficulties adjusting to divorce, loss or life changes. I provide assessment and treatment services that are comprehensive and driven by the latest research and best practice guidelines.

I work with adult clients, including couples, through an integrative and holistic lens. I focus on complex mental health issues, including treatement resistant anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

I view psychological wellbeing as I do physical wellbeing - it requires time, care and maintenance. Making the decision to feel better when you feel down does not always come easily. If you are struggling with life, reaching out for help is the right thing to do. My private practice consults with other professionals to provide you with the best, up-to-date and proven treatment options. Some of the treatment models that I am certified in are: Family Based Treatment for Eating Disorders (FBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE).

Our lives each contain moments of great joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, opportunity, and obstacle. At the center of these experiences is our innate search for connection. We need relationships, they are precious and critical, and yet they are not always easy to navigate. Do you struggle to express your needs to your partner? Or perhaps you have a hard time setting boundaries with a parent, friend or colleague? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same argument with a sibling or family member?

I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, parents, and families to increase their wellbeing and improve relationships. With a background as a lawyer and mediator, I am well-equipped to assist couples in conflict or those seeking to deepen their connection. Additionally, my extensive experience of over two decades in adoption enriches my work with parents, enhancing their connection with their children and finding effective solutions to parenting issues. As a parent of four teenagers, I have firsthand insight into the complexities and challenges of raising children and managing family life.

Hi, everyone. Individuals, couples and poly folks tend to seek me out because I’m clear-headed, sincere and deeply hopeful. So, if you’re having feelings of anger, disconnection or overwhelming anxiety, we can find ways for you to feel lighter, easier, more certain. People processing childhood trauma and abuse, or grappling with low self-esteem, powerlessness and grief — they find relief here too. We start with what feels helpful for you — sometimes that’s having a safe sounding board; other times it’s having a co-problem solver with tools right beside you. My sense of humour is a plus, so is my endless curiosity and compassion.
