Practice information:

Are you struggling to be the best version of yourself?   Are you seeking tools to manage life in a way that allows more enjoyment and contentment?  I offer a direct and action-oriented approach utilizing primarily, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  My goal is always to capture a client’s inner wisdom and strength, even when they don’t realize they possess these qualities. I offer in person, virtual or telephone sessions. 

I hold a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology (counselling) from the University of Victoria, as well as undergraduate degrees in Women’s Studies and Child and Youth Care.  I have also completed extensive  training in a variety of therapy modalities as listed below.  My experience includes providing counselling in schools, community based settings and mental health organizations. 

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy based on the idea that the way we think and feel affects the way we behave.

I have had much success treating OCD and related disorders including Body Focused Repetative Behaviours (a cluster of habitual behaviours that include hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, nose picking, and lip or cheek biting).
