Practice information:

I entered the counselling psychology field wanting to more deeply understand myself and others, and in particular why my family functioned the way that it did. This led me to an interest and education focusing on Adlerian theories and in family systems. Family of origin work continues to be a passion of mine, understanding the patterns and roles that we can automatically repeat or conversely change with insight and support.

I have worked in diverse clinical areas but more recently I have started to focus on perinatal and postpartum mood and adjustment, along with fertility related issues and birth trauma and processing.

My education is from UBC (BA) and Masters in Counselling Psychology from Adler University in Chicago Illinois. I have training in EMDR, CBT, DBT and various other modalities.

I understand that connecting with a therapist can be overwhelming, and it can take energy and courage to even begin. I will aim to collaborate with you on what it is that would make counselling as beneficial as possible, and to help guide the process. I use empathy, intuition and humor to ease this relational process.
