Individual and Couple Therapy

I help individuals and couples who are struggling with:

  • Depression or postpartum depression
  • Low self-esteem, self-criticism or perfectionism

I offer:
  • Treatments that research has shown to be effective for depression and relationship distress

  • Certification at the highest level in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples (see www.eft.ca for more information)

  • Twenty-three years of experience treating clients, training therapists, and researching and writing about the causes of depression

  • A clear model of depression and its treatment, described in my book, A Secret Sadness: The Hidden Relationship Patterns that Make Women Depressed

  • Services that are reimbursed by extended health care plans

  • Offices in West Vancouver and Sechelt, B.C., from which I provide therapy to clients who live on the North Shore, in Squamish and Whistler, and on the Sunshine Coast
