I am an experienced Downtown West-End/Coal Harbour Vancouver psychologist, educator and writer who has dedicated my life to optimal health and emotional well-being through self-care. As I empower myself, I share my knowledge and the practical skills I use daily. As a result, those who consult me learn to empower themselves and, therefore, have more fulfilling life experiences. My commitment to my own empowerment inspires and motivates clients to make similar choices to heal from past and current traumas. Clients also recover from the anxiety, depression, fear, helplessness and the reduced self-esteem that trauma leaves in its wake so as to live more successfully and joyfully in the present as well as the future.
I will assist you to free yourself from limiting thoughts, feelings, and dysfunctional behaviour and replace these with emotions and actions that lead to more meaningful and fulfilling experiences at work, in your personal relationships and creative endeavours.
I first started counseling at the Toronto East General Hospital Walk-in Crisis Centre in 1981, and have continued learning ever since. I've had plenty of academic training, at three different schools--York University in Toronto, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. Much of that training involved discussing clients with senior clinical psychologists.
