My Philosophy

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and am certified to work with the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). I have 10+ years of experience working with individuals and families dealing with cultural issues, depression, grief, relationship problems and anxiety. I value connecting and building trust with clients to form a mutual partnership, where we work as a tandem to develop interventions that will aid in the healing process.

In my practice, I value a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy, where the client and I work together to find solutions to their concerns. I believe that every person has the ability to choose when and how they want to make a change in their life, as they have the power to control their behaviour. This can be a difficult concept for many; however, I want to provide individuals with the skills and resources that can help to empower them to make a positive change in their life. ​I work with clients closely in order to achieve measurable results that allow them to push forward with a new, positive mindset. Increasing self-awareness, finding meaning in life, assisting in finding solutions to problems and teaching coping and problem solving strategies are core goals that I aim to reach with my clients. Since every individual is different, their goals are tailored towards each individual and their needs. My goal is to work alongside my clients to support them in finding their best self and empower them to build the skills they need to fulfill their individual success story.
