Finding the Help You Deserve

My practice caters primarily to individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction (primarily sex or pornography but others as well), relationship challenges, betrayal trauma, trauma of all kinds, life and family struggles. I have been providing counselling and therapy supports for individuals, couples, and families in one form or another for 25 years. I cater to both in-person and virtual options. I work confidently from a CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Gottman Method framework among others. My work is very person-centred, meaning I believe the client is the best expert in their own life and I am there to assist in tapping into their internal and external resources and strengths. I believe in having clients engage in work between sessions but if just being able to explore their circumstances, getting in touch with themselves, and process from session is what feels best for them, that will be accommodated. But having things to work on between sessions provides added absorption and solidification of insights and learning taking place in session. My goals is to create a relationship of trust and provide an empathic, compassionate environment that is fertile for the growth and recovery process everyone faces regardless of the specific challenge being addressed. I take my cues from the clients and together we explore, learn, and grow.
