Individual Counselling Therapy is a category that includes all modalities of psychotherapy between one practitioner and one client. This discipline begins with the relationship between client and therapist, and then uses established mental health principles, values and techniques to aid the client in achieving insight into existing challenges, gaining new skills and capacities, and earning emotional freedom from historical issues. The foundation of any effective therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist, and research confirms that this relationship is the single most important factor in the success of therapy.

Individual Counselling Therapy is not age restricted though minors will need the consent of legal guardians to access sessions.


Relationship Counselling Therapy

Relationship therapy begins with establishing shared goals and proceeds to sessions in pursuit of the identified goals. Relationship Therapy is designed to address the presented difficulties and to pursue desired outcomes, often to overcome barriers, blocks, and negative patterns, and to discover how to move towards lasting change.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and owner of Beyond the Pines Therapy based in Vancouver, BC. I hold a B.F.A. in Theatre from U.B.C. and an M.A. in Counselling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. I have completed clinical internships through Dr. Peter Centre and Nightingale Counselling & Research, and am committed to ongoing education and clinical supervision.

My approach is non-directive, collaborative, and highly exploratory. I engage clients with sincere curiosity and an underlying belief in the resilience of the human spirit. I utilize psychodynamic, family systems, and attachment-focused approaches to provide in-person and online services for adults, teenagers, and couples. I offer trauma-informed treatment that extends beyond temporary symptom relief and helps you move towards a greater experience of wholeness.

Having grown up in northern towns all over Western Canada and moving 30 times by the age of 30, I am accustomed to building relationships with new people. I have enjoyed exposure to wildly different communities and have a background in various fields including industrial work, bartending, theatre/film, and education.

Outside of the therapy office you may find me at the cinema, exploring the coastline with my family, enjoying a very loud concert, rehearsing a new play, or immersing myself in a Steinbeck novel.
