The ultimate goal of therapy is to empower the client to use their inner strength to reach life's fullest potential. Counselling/therapy is an important tool when a person is experiencing difficulties which are affecting their quality of life. Often making life changes can be extremely fear provoking, leading people to look for coping strategies to deal with life's stressful events. Looking to a competent, qualified counsellor who can provide confidential and supportive help during these trying times can be most reassuring and helpful.
I have been trained in many therapeutic techniques including Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy.
As a counsellor/therapist, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions that have been proven helpful with various problematic issues.
