My focus is to assist clients through life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma recovery. Specializing in trauma counselling for CAF, RCMP, EMS, CSC, and other front line workers. I am experienced with VAC assessments, with an in depth knowledge of VAC policies, and benefits. My approach is strength based, and solution focused using research based methods. My unique life experiences as a female Veteran provide compassionate empathy, and understanding of the great need for trauma counselling.
My role is to work on your goals to achieve better life balance, and turn pain into peace using Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. I work with clients who have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management issues.
I continue to develop my counselling skills through research, ongoing training, and working with a diversely skilled team. Life brings times of challenge and struggle, but solutions are better achieved when you have the right team working for you. Don't continue to struggle alone, call and set up a free consultation.
