Individual, Couple and Family Therapy

I believe we can’t change the earlier events in our lives that may have significantly shaped who we have become, but we can change the impact of those experiences and learn new and more satisfying ways of responding to past, present and future circumstances. Using a strengths based approach, I assist individuals, couples and families who are seeking change and growth. Together we identify and address patterns of relating or behaving that are getting in the way of more balanced, effective and fulfilling relationships, both within themselves and with others.

My interests include building bridges between conventional and more holistic or complementary care and integrating a spiritual focus.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers  - Registration No. #03492. I am also a member of the BC Association of Social Workers and a clinical member of the Satir Institute of the Pacific. I received my Masters of Social Work degree from UBC School of Social Work, and was a sessional faculty member there from 2008 to 2013. 

I have consulted for nurses, physicians, social workers and counsellors and have presented at a number of conferences and workshops. I have articles published in the Canadian Journal of Counselling , as a co-author (2003) and the Satir International Journal (2016).  I have presented several webinars for the Canadian Association of Social Workers. 

I have over 30 years experience in health care and have been in private practice as a clinical social worker since 2001. I have taken training in supervision.
