It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!
As a Registered Social Worker and Registered Clinical Counsellor, I am a good listener. Our therapeutic relationship offers compassion, safety, and confidentiality. Clients are served with a rich blend of evidenced-based psychotherapy, supportive counselling, problem-solving, validation, distress tolerance, relaxation, guided imagery, and skill-building drawn from several therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy.
