Client Focus

I help adults and couples who seem fine on the outside but feel anxious, self-critical, or stuck understand what’s beneath the struggle.

Session Details

50-minute sessions, in person in Burnaby or online across BC. Book online or request a free 20-minute phone consultation first.

Client Outcomes

Clients come to understand the emotions beneath their struggles, feel less controlled by them, and build more confidence and connection.

Therapy Style

You’ll feel heard and not judged. I help you turn toward the feelings you usually push away, so we can understand and work through them together.

Qualifications and location

Frequently asked questions

You’re likely a good fit if you’re an adult or couple who looks capable on the outside but feels anxious, self-critical, or stuck underneath. I’m a Licensed Psychologist in Burnaby, BC, and I help people understand and work through what’s keeping them there. The best next step is to reach out, so we can talk about what’s bringing you in and help you find the right fit.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you understand and move through painful emotions rather than around them, getting to the root of what hurts instead of only managing symptoms. It’s well suited to anxiety, depression, self-criticism, complex trauma, and relationship difficulties. EFT can also help you heal old wounds, even when the person who caused them isn’t present.

I work with both adult individuals (19+) and couples. For individuals, I focus on anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, complex trauma, and unresolved experiences related to family of origin. For couples, I work on communication, emotional disconnection, rebuilding trust, and recovering after infidelity. Sessions are available in person in Burnaby or online across British Columbia.

Yes, we offer sessions both in person at our Burnaby office and online anywhere in British Columbia, so you can choose what feels most comfortable. We don’t direct bill, but we provide a receipt after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for any coverage you may have.

Starting therapy begins with a conversation about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and what’s felt hard. You don’t need to have it all figured out, or to share more than you’re ready to. From the very first conversation, my aim is for you to feel genuinely heard and understood, at a pace that feels right for you.
