"Tuesday evenings and Friday days. $150/session with reduced rates for those with financial need. I work with children, youth and adults to build healthy coping skills and apply them to their lives. I have a passion working with a range of ages but particularly love working with children/youth and their parents to build deeper relationships. Often children/youth want to have closer relationships with their parents/caregivers (even if they may show you the opposite) but both have difficulty communicating their needs. As a result, there becomes a power struggle between parent and child."

"**Registered Provisional Psychologist** I believe that life can be a beautiful journey. At times along the way we can experience difficulties and have moments in which we lose our way. The lens in which we view our difficulties is built from our culture, our beliefs, and our life experiences up until this moment in time. If our lens is cloudy we can process life events in a negative manner and this can lead to struggle. My role as a counsellor is to help you to take that step back and gain clarity on challenging situations and relationships."

"I specialize in providing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals become aware of negative thought patterns and behaviours. This approach helps to increase feelings of confidence, and positive thinking. CBT paired with Mindfulness allows for clients to become aquatinted with their thoughts, and moods, while simultaneously developing a new relationship with them. This approach can benefit those who suffer form depression, anxiety, other mood disorders, anger issues or anyone who desires to have a stronger sense of happiness in their daily life. The approach can be modified for all ages and cognitive abilities. "

"You are searching for answers, perhaps stuck and may feel a bit lost about how to find your way forward. You can be sensitive, intense, and passionate and you're interested in living from a place of aliveness, well-being, and spark. You may have a history of trauma, suffering and loss and yet you are also a survivor. I look forward to working with you, attending to both the suffering and the resilience, the loss and the grace; to listening to and affirming the melody beneath your words. My practice is currently full, but anticipate this changing by February 2019."

"Personal distress is manageable. The majority of life stressors that contribute to distressing feelings fall into three categories that include relationship difficulties, internal factors (troubling or uncomfortable thoughts) and difficult life events (past and present). Depression and anxiety often occur when these factors go unresolved. I employ a brief counselling model that uses cognitive-behavioural and solution focused strategies to help my clients develop manageable goals for resolving personal distress. Every client has the capacity for change and the evidenced based strategies that I use in my practice are the most likely path to help overcome barriers to success."

"Children, adolescents and families sometimes struggle with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, and other concerns like ADHD, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. These struggles are often difficult to change when you are right in the middle of them and thats when counselling can often be effective. I believe that everyone comes with their own strengths and talents for solving life issues, and often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one."
