Registered Social Worker, MSW, EdD, RSW
Verified
I analyze a set of your childhood memories/dreams you bring in to figure you out, understand potential root issues, then use EMDR and NLP to architect change. First, we identify personality style and inner-dynamics, then, the work. We consider various angles: nutrition, lifestyle factors and other variables. My work is technical. I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy:
OCD
, Anorexia, etc.

Verified
I work with people with trauma, suicide, self-harm, depression, anxiety, autism,
OCD
, ADHD, and people with anger, conflict, career issues and other life challenges.
It seems frustration and anger is pulling you from all sides, and your depression and anxiety is draining your life away. It’s not you. It is because every issue is multifaceted, not just a single issue, and every issue has a story that needs to be told and understood. Change is always hard. It takes willingness for change to happen. Whether something or someone in our life needs to change, or we've decided that we can no longer live life being consumed by it… it's never easy. My counselling can help. We can walk this path together and grow strong together.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviours that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). It affects children, kids, teens and adults. Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety. A person's level of OCD can be anywhere from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, it can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school or even to lead a comfortable existence in the home.
