I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Group Psychotherapist with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology. I have over 30 years of clinical experience in the mental health and addiction fields, 22 of which are in private practice in West Vancouver. My practice offers:
  • short term counselling & long term psychotherapy for adults – 18 and up
  • couples counselling
  • group psychotherapy (Women’s Self-Esteem Group)
Providing a safe, confidential and professional setting, I work from a Psychodynamic and Interpersonal framework, but also utilize other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural therapy.

I work with a variety of issues including…

  • anxiety, stress and burnout
  • depression
  • identity and self-esteem issues
  • perfectionism
  • relationship and intimacy problems
and have extensive experience with…
  • adults who have suffered trauma and abuse as children
  • adult children of alcoholics
  • addictions and codependency
My work with couples and individuals helps them improve their relationships and communication skills, while helping those looking for relationships find and overcome the roadblocks that have prevented their success.

Assessment, referral and post treatment follow-up therapy for individuals with alcohol and drug abuse problems is also offered through my practice.
