I enjoy working with all age groups who present with a variety of life issues. I have experience in treating issues around addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal relationships and both trauma and PTSD
I specialize in the area of addiction, having spent 31 years as an addiction counsellor, 24 of those in private practice. I now incorporate a number of therapeutic orientations into my counselling including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Brief and Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am EMDR trained and treat trauma.
I am currently not accepting new clients. I am seeing clients online using secure video platforms that are compliant with the Personal Health Care Information Protection Act (2004) and in my office, located in downtown Ottawa.
