Therapy

  I am a clinical registered social worker.  I have a strong desire to support clients through life challenges and I enjoy witnessing the changes they can achieve through a positive counselling experience. I use a client-centered approach to guiding clients in addressing and releasing unwanted emotional or behavioral after-effects of life events such as grief/loss, injuries, illness, relationship concerns and other painful life experiences through motivational interviewing, solution focused and cognitive behavioral techniques. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and to support you on a path to self-discovery and self healing.

  Counselling is available for individuals, couples or families; children 12 years of age and older are welcome.  For children under 12, the approach is to work with the parents to help them with parenting strategies to respond to their children’s emotional or behavioural concerns. For those children under 16, one or both parents need to attend the first session in order to sign the counselling consent forms. Teens over 16, can attend as independent individuals.
