Welcome. Looking for creative ways to make meaningful change? Or a safe place to sit with the uncertainty of the moment? Therapy and counselling is a place that can help you voice your thoughts, explore and move through challenges, and grow in your desired direction. Our work together will look at your unique experience, and what is meaningful in your life. My approach is emotionally-focused, neurobiological, and trauma-informed.
Individuals, couples, and families are welcome. My work experience includes community mental health, crisis intervention, day treatment and residential services, educational institutions, hospital settings, first responders, and the military. Roles held include clinician, consultant, supervisor, and trainer; this will inform our work together.
In addition to counselling services, suicide intervention training and supervision services are available. Contact me for a complimentary 30min phone consultation to see how we can best meet your needs.. In-office, online, and phone services available.
