Making healthy changes in life can be difficult when experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, job stressors, and other challenges. My goal is to help you gain a new perspective and provide you with skills to help you move forward in life. I will work collaboratively with you while using tools from different modalities to help you learn to cope with your challenges and stressful situations, working to overcome. My hope is to help you connect with your inner strengths and values, resulting in finding your full potential and connecting with your true self.

We will go slow and not rush as this is your journey to walk and I am a trusted confidante to help you along your way.

I believe that within each person, whether one sees it or not initially, lies a desire to grow and be more self-aware.

Professionally aside from being a Registered Professional Counsellor, I am also a mental health worker and a Designated Representative with the Immigration and Refugee Board and work within the psychiatry department in the hospital system. For ten years I have been running a community group for the vulnerable population in the winter and have been an advocate for mental health in the community namely the need for the mental health cars for the Lower Mainland which were put into place in 2023.

My understanding of hope comes from my own journey and my understanding of how to help others comes from both my education and my professional experience in the field. I look meeting you soon.
