“Therapy is about people discovering through conversations, the hopeful, preferred and previously unrecognized hidden possibilities contained within themselves.”

Lindsey is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Simon Fraser University. Over the last nine years, Lindsey has worked successfully with children, teenagers, adults of all ages, couples, families and groups.

Lindsey believes in working collaboratively with her clients and empowering them to make important changes in their lives. She is passionate about her work and is also committed to continuous growth and learning in her professional and personal life.

Lindsey provides her clients an empathic and non-judgmental counselling experience, where individual differences and stories are embraced and stories of success and resilience are created.

Her background is in Narrative Therapy and she has developed a thoughtful and effective way to also incorporate evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness, Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioual Therapy (CBT) into her work.
