We all experience stress. How we cope with stress either past or present is the challenge. It is possible to acquire coping strategies to not only reduce stress but to reach a place of happiness and resolution. I have been working with individual adults, adolescents, children, as well as, couples, and families for over 40 years. I see people who are concerned about a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, family and marital conflict, parenting, and behaviour management. I have been in positions of program manager, clinical director, and clinical consultant.
I have provided services in the community, in areas of children's mental health, school, group and foster care, and private practice settings. I conduct parenting and custody and access assessments and help couples deal with separation and divorce to reach an agreement. In addition, I do clinical training with professionals and client groups.
In addtion, I currently provide clinical supervision and consultation to counsellors and therapists.
