Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? I specialize in supporting youth and adults, including high-achievers and neurodivergent individuals, through life's challenges. Let's manage emotions, build coping skills, and craft YOUR meaningful life together. With a decade of experience in psychiatry at BC Children’s Hospital, I offer diverse modalities like person-centered and solution-focused therapy. As a parent of three, I understand balancing multiple needs. Let's connect and navigate this journey with empathy. Reach out today, and let's navigate this journey together!
I worked in inpatient psychiatry at BC Children’s Hospital for over ten years with children, youth and their caregivers experiencing mental health challenges. I work from a variety of modalities, including: person-centred, solution-focused (SFT), emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT), and I have my Level 1 in both Lifespan Integration and Gottman trainings.
I am a mother of three children, and I understand what it’s like to balance the needs of many, including oneself. I am excited to meet you where you are and help you pause, unsubscribe, try something different, and problem-solve holistically focused on appreciating your gifts and normalizing your lived experience. I work by meeting your needs with empathy.
