Accepting new clients (updated July 2024). Website: https://contactcoastal.ca. I will listen without judgement, and offer unconditional support. We will explore what it is you're going through in a safe environment so that you can gain better understanding and find possibilities to move forward. If an office doesn't suit you, we can meet virtually.
I support clients with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship issues and parenting support. In addition to a Master's in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Education, I am Level 1 Gottman certified, currently working through Gottman Level 2, as well as certified as a Prevention & Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) counsellor.
Reach out for a free consult or book directly online. I draw from several counselling theories and approaches. The approach used will vary depending on your goals and the reasons for seeking support. I take a solution focused approach and work to have you feeling better quickly but support you as long as you require.
