I have been a social worker/therapist since 1983/98 and have extensive experience with providing individual, couple and family therapy. I worked with Eastern Health in both addictions and trauma treatment until 2017 and now work at Memorial University. I have been in private practice on a part time basis since 2001. I strive to maintain my expertise with continuing professional education. My goal in therapy is always to help people sort out their priorities and work towards their specific goals. The approach is centered on the person I am working with and my extensive experience allows me to develop individualized interventions.
Traumatic experiences are often devastating in ways that interfere with life goals and relationships. You can change that by completing Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence based approach that can adjusted to your personal preferences. I offer a safe space to discuss your thoughts and emotions with an option for treatment to address your stuck points.
A common worry for people thinking about starting therapy is will the therapist understand and be able to help? While I cannot promise to absolutely know what you have been through, I will listen and learn about your experience, as it is unique to you. A safe space to talk can help begin your healing journey. I am here to help you start on that journey.
