Welcome!

I am a registered psychologist in private practice in Vancouver, BC.

I completed a Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta in 1996. Since that time, I have been in private practice, providing effective counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. Prior to 1996, I had over 25 years of working experience, first as a teacher, consultant, parent educator and finally a regional office manager with the Alberta Department of Education.

While I continue to enjoy working with individuals, I have specialized over the past 10 years in working with couples. I have also studied numerous other approaches to relationship counselling, and I am able to adapt according to my clients' particular circumstances and needs.

In my work with clients, I hold a strong belief that we all have within ourselves the resources and strengths required to deal with life's challenges. I begin by creating a safe, supportive, constructive and collaborative working relationship with my clients, and encourage them to find ways of connecting with their own inner strengths and wisdom. Rather than assuming the role of "expert," I see myself as a facilitator of growth, a guide and a partner along the road to wellness.
