We provide counselling services for Children, Individuals and Families. We believe that too much of our time is spent dealing with life struggles and hardships. Therefore, we offer counselling to improve the functioning of children, individuals, and families experiencing ongoing and situational stresses in their daily lives.

Life can be challenging at times. We all need to explore those issues that have an impact on our mental health and daily functioning. I have helped many individuals explore strategies to better cope with their personal situations. I believe that in a supportive confidential environment, all individuals can be empowered to see through their difficulties. I believe all individuals can live to their full potential. I will encourage you to visualize your ideal life and then work towards that vision.

As a Registered Clinical Fellow with the Ontario and American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and a Registered Psychotherapist and Social Worker, I am a highly skilled and seasoned practitioner who has been in private practice for over 35 years. In addition, I have also served as a Director, Clinical Supervisor, Clinical Trainer and Therapist within the children's mental health field and have thus developed an expertise for working with challenging adolescents and their families. If you are struggling with a relationship difficulty put your trust in a therapist who has specific and in-depth expertise in this area.

You feel stuck and alone. You beat yourself up for failing…for not being good enough…for not doing it right. You feel trapped by guilt and shame. You worry, “What if it never gets better?”. You want to be happy, not sad and stressed, but it doesn't seem possible. You feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. You’ve even tried talking to your family and friends, but as much as they try, they just don't get it..they don't understand. And even though, you push people away or stay silent and isolate yourself, you long for someone to notice you are hurting and to know that you matter.

I help people get Unstuck from the internal and external struggles that keep us from living fully, now. We humans suffer, not only because of the inevitable pain that life presents, but because of the difficult emotions, thoughts, memories, urges and sensations we experience in response to the pain. We humans are also incredibly adaptive, with the ability to demonstrate tremendous courage, compassion and resiliency that allows us to overcome and grow from adversity and difficult personal histories. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, solution-focused, and grounded in evidence-based science.

People seek change and choose to work with a therapist for a variety of reasons.

I am senstive to the needs of my clients, as well as having a practical, common-sense feedback style. Cognitive behavioural therapy along with Adlerian therapy are approaches used in my work.

**Currently offering video sessions.** Feeling tired of pretending? Well heavens to Betsy, I get it. The pressure to pretend in our society can be very strong. Pretending to be fine, pretending to have it all together, pretending to be "good thanks and you?" The list can go on. And often the systems in our society can perpetuate this pressure, even the very systems that we go to for help or support. I don't have all the answers and I will not pretend to. And I definitely will not pretend to know you and your experience better than you do.

We all have struggles and stresses in our lives, but it is about how we process these situations that impact us. There is no right or wrong way in the processing of these events, rather there are healthy versus unhealthy coping skills. My role is to support you in working through those processes as well as teach you how you can build up resiliency so that you are better able to manage and work through those stressors. My counselling style is one that caters towards your needs through collaboration, while providing a warm, safe and judgement free space; by utilizing a multi-therapeutic approach and creative strategies to counselling.

My practice is mainly geared toward adolescents, adults, couples and families. All individuals seeking assistance to navigate their life's journey are welcomed. I listen to what your needs are, help provide you with tools to find a path to break down barriers that are keeping you from living your best life. I believe a counsellor and a client must be able to establish a trusting relationship to make the most of the time spent together. I offer structured/non structured therapies depending on the needs of the clients.

Every individual I have the opportunity to meet carriers with them a collection of unique experiences, thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. As humans, we all have periods in our lives when we think, “things are not how they should or ought to be” and this may lead us to a place where we may not be feeling like ourselves. I genuinely believe that you, as a client, are the expert at your own life, but sometimes, even experts can use a little fine tuning- this is one of the functions of therapy! I promise to provide you with the highest quality service that it tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding that the challenges we face in life and healing our mind, body and soul is diverse; my goal as your therapist, is to create a space where you can deepen your understanding of your own experiences and feel empowered to work towards your therapeutic goals. I enjoy working with individuals, and couples who would like to make positive changes in their lives or who are looking for support and guidance.
