Thank you for taking the first step to working on your needs or that of your relationship.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW# 830664) who has enjoyed working in the mental health field since 1995. I have been privileged to work with amazing clients from all walks of life. 

 

Driven by a passion for my work, I have continually sought to enhance my skills and knowledge. This led me to pursue my dream of establishing a home-based counselling practice. I returned to school, engaged in additional training opportunities, and earned my MA in Counselling Psychology. I am committed to ongoing education, recognizing that there is always more to learn in this dynamic field.

 

Since January 2018, I have provided in-person and online counselling to individuals, couples, and families.

My approach to counselling comes from a strengths perspective. I see clients' positive qualities and empower them to work through difficulties using their unique skills and resources.

 

Some of the therapeutic modalities I use are:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Compassion-Focused Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

 

I welcome all forms of cultural diversity and ally with the LGBTQ+ community.
