My goal in working with people is to create a safe environment for them to reveal as much about themselves as they feel comfortable. As the client-counsellor relationship is built over time individuals generally come to feel safe enough to share more about themselves and their lives. Clients come in with concerns ranging from personal growth issues to grief, depression, anxiety, communication or difficulties in relationships. I help people pinpoint areas that they would like to focus on and set realistic, achievable goals. My desire is to help you feel more confident in your life as quickly as possible. One of my goals is to help you rediscover your strengths, deep beliefs and values. Those will guide you in the process of making positive changes, tailored to your life. Before you know it, you will know what you need to do to have the life you want. Having many years of experience in this field has allowed me to work with a variety of people (teens, children, families, couples and individuals). I have worked in a variety of settings (schools, agencies providing support for survivors of abuse and agencies focussing on separation/divorce). I pride myself with keeping up with the latest research. I am trained to work with couples. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. I meet with clients in person in my office which located in the Port Moody area. I also provide online sessions for clients.
