Struggling with alcohol or drug use, anger management, managing stress, anxiety, depression, and/or relationship issues? Let's walk together on our journey to discover solutions and apply practical life skills going forward.
My helping relationship is client-centered, trauma-informed, and anchored in unconditional positive regard for clients and their families. I will share with you skills and expertise learned from my experience as a practicing social worker in hospital and community-based settings. I am an approved provider for First Nations Health Authority Health Benefits.
It takes courage (and a few deep breaths) to reach out for help and share part of your complex world with someone new. I offer a warm welcome, therapeutic relationship, and privacy. Contact me with your questions.
