Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

"When we are no longer able to change a situation—we are challenged to change ourselves."
Victor Frankl

To have my clients take up the challenge to change—this is the power I help them achieve.

Many people have barriers blocking their ability to lead a fulfilling life. The conditions may be anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, depression, self-esteem, martial/relationship problems, family concerns or cross-cultural issues.

In my peaceful West End office, I use both short-term and long-term psychotherapy to help children, adolescents, and adults understand themselves, overcome negative patterns and work through barriers to develop new ways of being and relating. I do this in an environment of compassion and respect. As a registered psychologist (#1457) with the B.C. College of Psychologists and member of the B.C. Psychological Association, this has been my life’s work for almost 20 years.

I use a variety of theories and strategies to help individuals, couples and families move forward in their lives. It may be exploring the past. Or an in-depth examination of the present emotionally, physically, cognitively and through actions. In the therapeutic relationship, I help clients to discover what is holding them back, overcome negative patterns and develop better ways of coping. To realize self-acceptance and self-esteem. To move forward in their lives with awareness, relief and a new sense of freedom.

For clients who can’t face the workday, who are on stress leaves and temporarily unable to function in their daily lives for psychological and/or physical reasons, I use additional resources. Working with rehabilitation organizations and insurance companies, I help my clients overcome their difficulties in functioning and facilitate their successful return to work.

I also offer group sessions to help clients manage circumstances such as life transitions, cultural adjustment, antiracism, stress management and issues such as self-esteem.

As a registered psychologist, my fees are usually partly or fully covered by extended health plans and private health insurance. Employee assistance plans also cover registered psychologists. Psychological services are eligible as a health care expense on income tax.

I welcome your calls or emails for more information and would be happy to discuss your particular situation, assess your needs and determine how I may help you. If my services aren’t suited to meet your needs, I’ll refer you to another trained professional. My schedule is flexible, including sessions in the early evening and on weekends—opportunities for you to review your situation, renew your approach and realize the benefits of self-knowledge and mindful actions.
