Accepting New Clients.... I meet individuals where they’re at, and help them get to where they want to go! I believe healing is possible, and that negative life experiences do not have to go on controlling the future. I offer client-centred counselling and mediation services to individuals (adult/youth), couples and families. Whether it is negotiating difficult life situations, managing anxiety (worry/fear), anxiety-based school refusal, depression, anger, stress, relationships, parent-teen mediation or navigating co-parenting during separation or divorce, I will adapt my approach to meet your personal goals.
I believe that the foundation to successful therapy rests in the relationship between counsellor and client. As a result, I strive to develop a positive working relationship that is based on mutual respect, openness and honesty, so that you can feel safe and speak openly about your thoughts and feelings.
My clients tell me that my energetic, friendly, genuine, yet direct style that often involves the use of humour, is what they value the most in me as a Counsellor. My natural and authentic approach allows me to quickly develop trust which is particularly important in my work with adolescence.
