I have been working in the helping profession for the past 20 years, 16 of which has been in the field of Mental Health and Addictions. I love the work that I do and the people I have the pleasure to work with. It is very inspirational through counseling to watch the growth individuals experience firsthand. I believe it is a privilege to walk alongside and support you during your most vulnerable moments, while acknowledging the strength and courage it takes to walk through the door.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I’m also experienced working in the treatment of addictions, emotion dysregulation, grief and loss. I also offer skill building in relation to interpersonal effectiveness, communication and stress management. I have experience and enjoy working with people across all life spans.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can feel comfortable coming in for us to work together. I truly believe this is a collaborative process and look forward to working with you.
