I consider myself an ally when it comes to members of the GLBTQ communities. Clients who attend my downtown Vancouver counselling and psychotherapy office tell me that I am a counsellor who helps them feel comfortable and at ease. They understand that they can talk without being judged and that I will listen. I provide therapy for clients with a variety of life concerns, including:
- Depression, including treatment-resistant depression, dysthymia and bipolar disorder
- Anxiety, including panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, phobias, social anxiety and generalized anxiety
- Addictions: alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, food, work
- Trauma: past or present
- Life Transitions
- Relationship issues, with the option of couples counselling
- And much more…Call or email me to ask!

If you are seeking unconditional acceptance and respect, strict confidentiality, a collaborative counselling approach, a calming office environment, and over a decade of experience helping clients who self-identify as either gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, queer or questioning, you have come to the right place! I encourage you to contact me for a free 15 minute telephone consultation to ask questions and determine whether I am a good fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you!
