Change is possible

I offer individual and couples therapy in Port Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows – in person and online. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, addiction or relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to create meaningful change.

Individual Therapy

A safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Together we’ll work on building coping strategies, getting unstuck, and moving towards greater clarity and confidence.

Couples Therapy

For couples navigating conflict, disconnection or life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust and strengthen connection.

Online Counselling

Convenient and secure video sessions from the comfort of your home. Online therapy can be especially helpful for busy schedules or those who prefer privacy and flexibility.

Specialized Support, Grounded in Experience

I have worked as a counsellor in a non-profit family service agency for more than twenty years, providing accessible counselling to people in our community. Over this time, I’ve supported individuals and couples with a wide range of concerns.

While I welcome clients with diverse needs, I have particular training and experience in:

Anxiety & stress management
Depression & low mood
Strengthening and healing relationships
Gambling concerns and recovery from addictions

Will Counselling Work for Me?

It’s natural to wonder whether counselling will make a difference. Many people feel unsure before starting – you’re not alone.

During my twenty years at SHARE Family and Community Services, we regularly tracked client progress using Feedback Informed Treatment. Here’s what my clients experienced:

More than 70% reported reliable, positive change
Most began to feel significant improvement in fewer than 8 sessions

If counselling isn’t helping you feel better, I’ll check in with you about what’s not working. Together, we can adjust our approach or explore additional resources to ensure you’re getting the support you need.

Sessions Details and Fees

How do counselling sessions work?

Sessions are 50 or 80 minutes in length.
We can meet in person, by video, or by phone — or use a combination, depending on what works best for you.
Your first session is a chance for you to see if my approach feels like a good fit. I’ll also ask a few extra questions to understand your background and your hopes for counselling.
Together, we’ll develop a plan for how often to meet and for how long. Many clients notice improvement within just a few sessions, and most don’t need more than eight appointments.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your needs — blending guidance with practical tools you can use in daily life.

How much does counselling cost? Do my benefits cover it? How do I pay?

My fee is $150 for a 50-minute individual appointment and $180 for a 50-minute couples session
If you’d like more time, I also offer 80-minute appointments
Many extended health plans cover counselling. If you have a plan, check to confirm coverage for a Registered Clinical Social Worker
At this time, I don’t offer direct billing. Payment is made up front, and you can then submit your receipt for reimbursement
I accept e-transfer, credit card, cheque and cash

What if I can’t afford therapy?

I believe cost should never stand in the way of getting help. If my services aren’t within your budget, contact me and I’ll share resources for free or low-cost counselling options in your community.
