I am currently accepting new clients and client referrals for a private practice in downtown Vancouver and Kitsilano at Elements Wellness Centre (207-2678 West Broadway). I offer evening and daytime availability for busy individuals (adults and teens) wanting to address anxiety and depression issues, life transitions, substance use, trauma, and relationship related issues. I am also an approved Crime Victim Assistance Program counsellor. My offices are both conveniently located near all major bus and train routes. My expertise comes from more than ten years in the counselling field, cultivating a collaborative and eclectic therapeutic approach.I am especially knowledgeable in substance use, women's issues, and trauma, and have worked with many women and men to achieve their goals to begin living with self worth and self compassion as they develop their authentic lives. I work from a person-centred, collaborative and strength based approach, using trauma-informed approaches in combination with mindfulness based and body centred awareness. I believe the therapeutic journey should be a collaborative path, carved out by the individual while I hold the safe space for healing. This allows the individual to find their way back to their authentic self, and overcome the challenges that once stood in their way.
