I have provided couples counselling to gay and lesbian couples for over twenty years. Not all counselling services are supportive of gay and lesbian couples here in BC, and as a matter of fact one major referral service states they provide counselling to transitional marriages. The only school that offers a degree leading to registration as a marriage and family therapist in BC is a religious school which does not recognize gay and lesbian marriage. So, while we might see ourselves living in a very liberal and welcoming community here in BC not all organizations see it so.
I have been providing counselling and therapy services to the gay, lesbian, bi-secual and transgender community for over 25 years. This includes work with couples, marriages and families, work with children in those families and work with many teens and young adults during their coming out or questioning periods.
In my office you will find a respectful, safe and supportive environment.
Issues that I work on include:
- Relationship issues
- Dating
- Life transitions
- Support when questioning your sexual or gender identity
- Abusing relationship
- Workplace or education related issues
- Depression, anxiety and stress
Techniques range from using Gottman Couples Therapy methods to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for anxiety, stress and depression.
