My name is Rié,

I am a therapist and social worker, as well as animal lover, photographer, outdoor adventurer, book reader, and the list goes on.

I went to school at the University of British Columbia where I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees in social work.

I have 9+ years experience working with youth, adults and families. I have spent many years working in healthcare in both acute and community settings. My focus has always been in mental health and addictions though I have also enjoyed spending time working in medical and physical rehab units.

I believe in meeting you where you are at. I will never force my agenda of what I think you should be doing; that is a process that we can work on together.

I work with older teens (17 and up; younger if previously discussed), and adults, and incorporate Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. Most importantly, I believe that human connection, safety, and relationship are at the core of the healing journey. I strongly believe that each individual benefits from drawing on different modalities to fit their unique situation.

I look forward to meeting you in the nook!
