Welcome
.
I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I attended the University of British Columbia, graduating with a B.A. in French & Psychology in 1989, and an M.A. in Counselling Psychology in 1998. I am a member of the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors, and I am currently practicing as a ‘Registered Clinical Counsellor’ in Vancouver and Burnaby. I offer clinical counselling and psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults, individuals and couples.
My practice is rooted in several theories of psychology, namely Humanistic-Existential, Rogerian (Client-centered), Cognitive-Behavioral, and Solution-Focused. My approach reflects my belief that human beings will naturally and automatically grow in positive ways, if they are provided with conditions that nurture and promote growth. I offer to my clients deep empathy, genuine acceptance, and sincere caring. Revealing my own humanity and personality, I invite my clients to engage in a meaningful exploration of themselves and their lives. I endeavour to facilitate emotional healing, to highlight personal strengths and core values, and to encourage movement toward positive change and growth.
