Practice information:

My practice focus is occupational health and I am accepting clients for vocational and career counselling, and for workplace issues. I am covered by some extended health plans under the clinical counsellor designation only.  My approach is an integrative one that is individually developed to suit you as a client.  I develop therapeutic approaches according to your needs, and honor your journey.  Change is challenging and I will help you in your journey, empowering you to become a "director" of your life. The techniques I use accelerate change making therapy more affordable and quicker so you can get on with your transformed life.

We have all been through a period of profound change and, for some or most of us, tough challenges.The  COVID-19 Pandemic has changed all aspects of our lives, work, relationships, health and, for many, what we hold to be true and what we value. We have had to reevaluate our goals and intentions for the future. Businesses we depend on have closed, friends and sometimes relationships have followed paths away from us and many have lost loved ones. We now depend on technology to manage our work tasks, keep us connected and entertain us more than ever. The social events, and cultural and art events we used to attend are beginning to emerge again and we are taking small steps toward events outside the home or viewing hybrid events st home. Although we seem to be emerging from the constraints of the past number of months, there are pieces to pick up and for many of us, a reinvention of ourselves and our life. Life is still very uncertain and planning is tentative at all times. Somehow the hope that all this will end soon is slowly fading with 4th waves and vaccine hesitant and averse people still getting and spreading the virus. 

It appears that front line workers are affected the most and our hearts go out to them. Many have made major life changes. From what I have heard from individuals and through the media, many people have moved to entirely different environments and just as many have quit jobs that no longer serve them.  I, in fact, moved from downtown Vancouver to Vancouver Island to a much smaller urban community and that is a  huge change! All these changes can bring difficult feelings of loss and disorientation, and anxiety about the future. In setting the scene I am inviting you to reach out for support. I am here for you and I can help you make sense of and adapt to how your life has changed and set a direction for the future. I provide Telehealth and virtual sessions and in person psychotherapy in both Vancouver and Vancouver Island. I do have a variety of tools and approaches to support you to take your life back from the chaos and uncertainty of the times. Contact me at 604-562-9130 and we can discuss how I can help you transform your life.
