I am providing primarily on-line counselling sessions through Zoom and offer in-person office sessions one day a week. Be safe and kind to yourself during these times. It can be a challenge finding a counsellor, especially when you're experiencing anxiety, crisis, or overwhelm, so I hope to provide you with some information and a feel for what I do and who I am in order to make a good decision for yourself.
I offer individual, couples, and family counselling based on compassionate and effective treatment. I have an office in Vancouver. My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and empathic. With a bit of Buddhist introspection about how we struggle and suffer. Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW) #05003 with the BC College of Social Workers (BCCSW).
