All my life I have been interested in people and their life situations  and I express a genuine interest in the clients I serve. I strive to provide a safe and peaceful space in which clients can explore new ways of thinking and learn new coping skills.

I provide therapy for mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, sex addiction, as well as support overcoming life challenges and transitions including relationship struggles.

I use a variety of treatment techniques depending on the needs of the individual client, as well as the nature of the issue being addressed. Among the approaches used during treatment are: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, paradoxical and mindfulness based interventions, solution focused principles, DBT, gestalt, family systems and systemic therapy techniques. 

I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of British Columbia (#2357) and Alberta (#4452).

My educational background includes a Master's Degree in Psychosocial Intervention and Psychotherapy and B.A. In Psychology.

Prior to my private practice in Kelowna, my most recent experience was at a Community Mental Health Agency where I worked with clients of all ages in individual, group and family settings. I was privileged to work with a wide range of clients, including individuals living with mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, sex addiction, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders. I was involved in providing Suicidal Intervention Services to remote communities as well as Social Skills training to adolescents.

I work with ages 16 and up and I approach each client, couple or family with an open heart and mind. I believe that a supportive, caring, and honest relationship with each client is of the utmost importance and I strive to maintain a present, compassionate, and open-minded consciousness throughout the therapy process.

If you feel that you are ready to commit to bringing about positive change in your life, I encourage you to take that first step. Together we will develop goals you want to reach and create a plan on how to get there.
