Life is full of challenges. We don't always have a choice what challenges we face. But we can choose how we view or overcome these challenges. I believe that we each have our own reserve of resilience waiting to be tapped into. Most of the time we have the strength to face these challenges. Sometimes we reach out to our friends and family for support and that is all we need. At other times, these challenges can overwhelm us and our system of support. We feel alone and helpless. When you are ready for change, let me support you in embracing your challenges and turn them into opportunities to learn something new about yourself.
I work extensively with Canadians, newcomers, inter-racial couples, university students, criminal offenders and those experiencing family or intimate partner violence. My specialized training include CBT, grief/dying/bereavement, EMDR, PTSD, adjustment disorder, attachment-based parenting, infidelity, betrayal trauma and Gottman Couple Therapy.
Whether I use a specific modality or an eclectic style of counselling to create the ideal treatment program to meet your specific needs and personality, my approach is always culturally responsive, person-centred and strength based. Call for a half-hour free consultation, which could be by phone, video conferencing or face-to-face.
