Individual Counselling is a process through which I meet with clients one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. We work collaboratively to explore their feelings, beliefs, values and behaviors. My clients seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons including coping with perimenopause/menopause, working through grief and loss issues, dealing with depression or anxiety, family of origin challenges or simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. I may meet with a client for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the their unique needs and personal goals for therapy.
My experience includes: Depression and Anxiety; Perimenopause/Menopause; Support for life changes and transitions; Emotional and Mental Health; Coping and Stress Management; Grief and Loss Counselling, Family of Origin Processing.
An additional focus of my practice is that of an Aging Well Specialist. My goal is to assist those struggling with age related challenges as well as support families. My experience includes: grief and loss, coping with acute/chronic disease, depression and anxiety, end of life issues, emotional/mental health as well as caregiver support.
