I provide clients with a wide range of scientifically driven and effective counselling services for ages 10 and older. I conduct specialized assessments and treatment for career, couples counselling, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and grief. I CAN HELP by providing the tools with compassionate guidance to navigate difficult circumstances, overcome obstacles and to also achieve your dreams and goals in life.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Group Counselling and Schema Therapy. I also provide Career Counselling using psychometric assessment for clients who are looking for guidance and direction regarding career decisions.
I am Christian, and can provide faith based counselling if requested.
I provide research based Couples Counselling based on principles outlined by Dr. Gottman using the Gottman Enhanced Relationship Checkup Assessment and Gottman Relationship Builder. This includes Assertiveness Training to assist with healthy communication for any relationship including family, friends or colleagues.
I adopt a Strength Based approach to counselling ensuring I identify strengths while also addressing areas of development in order to assist people in moving forward in their lives. I use the Clifton Strengths Assessment to maximize potential both in business and personal life and leverage these strengths to meet challenges and increase likelihood of successful outcomes.
There comes a time when we may need some assistance to help cope with many of life’s challenges and it takes courage to take the first step, and I am here to help using empathy, non-judgment and compassion.
Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I am here to guide you through the obstacles you face. Restoration, hope and healing are all possible. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with any changes and issues you are facing at this time. You are not alone.
