I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a background in emotion management, respectful and assertive communication, and mediation. I have a Masters of Science in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT and my training in anger management and mediation is from the Justice Institute of BC. I did my career counselling training at UBC and my couples, family, individual and group counselling training at Yorkville University. I have more than 15 years of experience working with diverse individuals, families and organizations and more than 10 years as co-host and co-producer of "It Takes a Village" parenting and family radio program. Through my work with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association's (CCPA) Anti-Racism Advisory Group, I help create a safe and inclusive and environment for all clients. My therapeutic approach is informed by client-centred therapy, mindfulness and exploring interactions between emotions, thoughts and behaviour. Clients find me easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and open to a variety of viewpoints.

When I hear about what's happening for you, we can work together to develop practical ways that you can find clarity in the feelings that arise, communicate more productively and get more of what you want out of your relationships.

These are uncertain and unprecedented times. If you are going through something difficult or feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to email, text or phone me to arrange a time to talk or meet. Reaching out can be your first step to feeling better.
