Therapy is a very intimate experience. In my work with people I strive for a personal connection with my clients from the get-go. Through that relationship, I am better able to understand the motivations, hidden struggles and impulses that drive my clients, and in turn, help them to utilize their own strengths and learned techniques to successfully address the difficulties being experienced by them. I have assisted clients who are going through or preparing for life transitions, experiencing depression, anxiety or mood disorders, or recovering from trauma or loss.
I am a registered psychologist with 30 years' experience in helping clients navigate difficult times. Through my professional and personal life, I have gained experience and expertise in a broad range of counselling techniques. My warm and compassionate approach is centred within a preference for evidence based cognitive therapy techniques.
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Your story, your pain, and your collection of struggles are unique to you. There is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. Together we will spend time understanding exactly what you are experiencing, and why, so that when you start making changes that improve your life, they will stick.
