Who I Am

Nineteen years of real, grounded work.

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in New Westminster, and I’ve spent the last 19 years helping people get unstuck. In that time I’ve learned that being listened to matters — but on its own, it isn’t enough. So I don’t just listen. I teach: the skills and tools you’ll actually use the moment you walk out of my office.

Most people who come to see me aren’t in crisis. They’re tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not feeling like themselves anymore — and they want something to change. My job is to help you understand what’s really going on, and to give you practical, science-based ways to feel better and stay that way.

I work with adults and couples, in person at my New Westminster office or by secure video anywhere in British Columbia.

How I Work

Therapy grounded in science, delivered with realness.

My approach pulls from a handful of well-researched frameworks — attachment science, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Developmental Couples Therapy, the neuroscience of trauma, and Bodynamics. But the framework matters far less than what actually changes in your daily life.

In practice, that means our sessions are warm and human, but also useful. We’ll get clear on what’s driving the patterns you’re stuck in, and build concrete tools you can reach for when the anxiety spikes, the old argument starts, or you feel yourself slipping back. No jargon, no lectures — and no promises that aren’t realistic.

What I Believe

Live the life you want.

I believe therapy should help you build a life that genuinely feels like yours — not a polished version of someone else’s. That belief shapes how I work: honestly, warmly, and grounded — never vague or mystical. What you’ll get from me is realness, authenticity, and care, paired with therapy that’s based in science.

You don’t need the perfect words or a tidy explanation to begin. If something feels off and you want it to stop, that’s reason enough to reach out.
