Meditation and contemplative practice offer ways to connect with and appreciate our innate fundamental goodness. Yet it is possible to feel stuck, caught in pain and sadness and unable to move on. Therapy can uncover deep-rooted obstacles to living freely. You can move beyond judgment and struggle. I offer practical effective ways to work with anxiety, depression, relational difficulties and a range of issues.

I integrate focused counselling interventions appropriate to each person based on my extensive experience and advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and brief therapies.

A Registered Clinical Counsellor, I work as a counsellor and clinical supervisor in private practice and at UBC. Through ongoing training, I maintain my commitment to effective therapeutic practices informed by research. I use a mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic approach to help clients enhance their self-awareness, emotional regulation and empathy, as well as develop a greater ability to recognize and tolerate difficult emotions without acting out on them.

You can break free of negative habitual patterns and develop a fresh perspective on issues. I will work collaboratively with you to uncover strengths so you can make conscious choices that fit your individual philosophy. I am committed being open and accessible, clear, direct and gentle, and to facilitate positive change and growth. As a practitioner of the Buddhadharma, I am keenly interested in how we can all live with dignity, confidence and generosity, and in the clinical applications of mindfulness awareness practices.

With deep curiosity I will work with you to understand and find ways to mediate and ease your concerns. Feel free to call or email me with your questions.
