Ready for change?
I can help.
I founded Willow Tree Counselling after over a decade of work in public practice. At my downtown Vancouver counselling and psychotherapy office, I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds and needs. Gender, sexual orientation, race, age, religion, ability, body size, relationship status and family situation are never barriers to working with me.
I am told that because of my open nature and kind, gentle way with people, clients trust that I can help without judgment. Listening to my clients’ personal stories is both an honour and a privilege; feeling heard and understood is often their first significant step towards change. My counselling space is one of acceptance and safety.
A welcoming, diverse & vibrant practice where people come as they are and I meet people where they’re at.
My counselling and psychotherapy practice is focused primarily on individual counselling. Counselling for couples and families is available on a selected basis. I also reserve several daytime appointments a week for telephone counselling.
I have extensive experience helping with:
| Depression | including treatment-resistant depression, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and bipolar disorder |
| Anxiety | including OCD, panic attacks, GAD, PTSD and phobias |
| LGBTQ+ | including coming out, transgender issues and asexuality |
| Addictions | including drugs, prescription drugs, food, alcohol, gambling, and overspending |
| Life Transitions | including relationship issues and grief & loss |
| Trauma | including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) |
| Eating Disorders | including binge eating, bulimia, emotional eating and other body/eating issues |
