“Only in the presence of compassion will people allow themselves to see the truth.” A. H. Alimaas
I have worked in the mental health and addiction field for over 25 years, including 21 years working in various community-based programs with Vancouver Coastal Health.
During this time I have developed and refined many skills and approaches to meet each person where they are at with their current struggles. At the core, my work is person-centred and trauma informed.
It has been an honour to walk along side the many individuals that I have worked with. I have a gentle, compassionate, down-to-earth approach and aspire to hold authenticity and respect with every person I work with.
I am a registered Clinical Counsellor #13699 with a Master of Counselling from University of Seattle.
I am a trained Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.
