I believe that good relationships, including the relationship we have with ourselves, are an essential part of a meaningful and fulfilling life. In my practice, I help both individuals and couples thrive in their relationships by creating a container for their healing and teaching skills for relational success.
As a daughter, sister and partner, I know how important good relationships are to our overall wellbeing. I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples deepen their connection with themselves and others so they can feel confident, connected, and deeply loved.
In my practice, I specialize in pre-marital couples counselling and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for individuals with low self-esteem. My approach is grounded in real-world experience combined with evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Gottman Couples therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
If you’re struggling with low self-esteem and it’s impacting your relationships and your work, EMDR can give you the opportunity to go beyond talk therapy to process any experiences that left you believing “I’m not good enough”. Together, we can process these experiences and help you adopt more positive beliefs about yourself so you can design your version of a meaningful life with confidence.
Or, if you’re in a relationship and looking for some support before taking the next step, pre-marital couples counselling is the best gift you can give your relationship. If you and your partner are stuck in a conflict cycle, have differing core values, or are dealing with external stressors, pre-marital couples counselling can help you to learn how to communicate effectively, understand each other’s needs, and collaborate on decisions that work for both of you.
As an individual and couples counsellor, my approach is warm, relational, and direct. I’m actively engaged in the process with you and I often encourage you to practice new strategies outside of session. I offer online and in-person sessions at my office in the Fairview neighbourhood in Vancouver.
If you’d like to work on your relationship with yourself and others, I offer a free 15 minute consultation to help you determine if it’s the right fit for you. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
