Welcome

My work as a psychotherapist began in 1978 when I completed my MA in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria. I completed my Doctor of Education from McGill University in 1990 and began private practice in 1992.

I have worked in drug and alcohol treatment centres, provincial mental health centres, employee and family assistance programs and I offer short and long-term therapy for individuals and couples.

I specialize in:

• eating disorders

• addictions

• attachment and relationship problems

• child and family issues

• general adolescent and adult mental health

My theoretical framework is primarily psychodynamic, although I draw on techniques from other modalities, such as:

• cognitive behavioral therapy

• Gestalt therapy

• dream analysis

• body/energy awareness

• relaxation techniques

• motivational enhancement

• twelve-step concepts for addictions & behavioral concerns

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding your situation, treatment needs, or how we might work together. Contact me.
