Accepting New Clients: Talking to an empathic listener while experiencing distress can be a meaningful step towards well-being. With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I help youth, adults, and families achieve their personal goals, optimize their unique strengths, and cultivate resiliency while they navigate life's challenges. I typically work alongside clients experiencing symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and low self-esteem. I'm also employed with a school board and focus my skills in supporting student mental health and attendance.
I will work with you to develop an intervention plan to create desired change. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, anti-oppressive, and strengths-based while grounded in empathy and validation. I have training in evidenced-based therapeutic models (CBT, ACT, etc.,) and I help my clients find what approach is best for their journey to well-being.
It can be hard to know where to start. Wherever you're at on your path to wellness, I'm happy to help you. Evening appointments are available. It's important that you feel your counsellor is the appropriate professional to assist you. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to help determine if I can provide support. I look forward to working with you!
