Practice information:

I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental, caring therapist with over 10 years of experience in the assessment and treatment of adults in a variety of settings, including hospital treatment programs, outpatient clinics, and college campuses. As a Registered Psychologist with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia (#1637), the regulatory body for psychologists, you can be assured of my professional training and the high quality of care that I offer. I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),a skills-based approach, to help adults who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, substance abuse, relationship conflict, and lifestyle balance.

If you are struggling with

• negative thoughts (hopelessness, worthlessness, worry, flashbacks)
• feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, panicky, or simply "stuck" in your life
• experiencing discontent or conflict in your relationships
• major life transitions (divorce, career change, loss of a loved one)
• unhealthy behaviors that have negative consequences (drinking, drug use, disordered eating, self-harm, gambling, smoking, lack of physical activity)

therapy can help you to

• understand the nature of the issues you are dealing with
• develop insight about where these difficulties came from
• learn skills to minimize the impact of these problems

so that you feel better, improve your relationships, and increase your quality of life.
