I provide experienced and compassionate counselling services to adults and adolescents* with a variety of challenges and referral reasons. I welcome and have experience with clients of different ages, genders, cultures, religious and spiritual backgrounds. In all cases, I seek to provide a space where clients can feel truly heard, understood, accepted and also challenged to take steps to make their hopes and dreams a reality. Some of the referral reasons I work with include:

• Personal growth and self-worth issues
• Communication and conflict resolution
• Anger and emotional/behavioral reactivity
• Stress management
• Problematic relational dynamics and patterns
• Anxiety and Fear
• Depression
• Significant life changes/transitions and challenges
• Family of origin issues
• Grief and loss
• Sexual, physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse
• Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Serious mental illness (episodes of psychosis, bipolar disorder, OCD etc)
• Self harm, suicidal ideation and other risky behaviors
• Personality Disorders (specializing in borderline personality disorder)
• Spiritual issues, spiritual growth
• Parenting support

In my therapeutic work, I draw on a range of approaches including:

• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Trauma informed approaches
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Attachment Theory
• Family systems therapy and Emotionally focussed Family therapy (EFFT)
• Gottman Couples Therapy
• I also incorporate research on brain and physiology into my treatments, helping clients to get their brains and physiology to work for them.
