MBA, CPHR, MACP, RCC

If you are struggling in your personal or professional relationships, including family conflict, difficulties at work, heartbreak in your friendships or in other relationships, let’s explore your feelings and thoughts about what you’re going through. If you have experienced a troubling event, want to work on your career or resolve a workplace issue, or if you live with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or loss, we will use my mix of person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy (SFT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT) and existential therapy, to focus on solutions and help you to get to the heart of what’s going on. Together we will develop strategies to help you feel better.

I hold an MBA in Human Resources, with 25 years of experience in the field, a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor. 

Cultural Identities/Lived Experience: Racialized woman; immigrant raised in Vancouver; work experience in the immigrant integration sector; over 25 years of experience in human resources.
