Practice Information

You can connect with me personally for online sessions or in person sessions in Coquitlam, BC.

If you are interested in in-person sessions in Vancouver or neurofeedback, I work out of Providence Therapy.

At both practices, you can expect to be welcomed into a warm and comfortable space where we collaborate on the concerns that bring you into therapy. It is my belief that we are all doing the best we can - while simultaneously - there can be challenges and circumstances preventing us from living the life we long for. Therapy may serve a different purpose for each person, and we will discuss how this support can be most effective for you and your needs.

I have had many years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and a diverse group of clients. I love working with 'professional helpers' - those that may call themselves first responders, counsellors, social workers, nurses, teachers, and perhaps even those that care for others in their personal lives. It is so important to ensure you have someone that is supporting you while you care for others- and yet, often this is the last priority on the list. I look forward to seeing how I can share the load and you can feel supported in this complex season of your life.
