I am a good listener who will encourage you to reflect on what works for you, and which strategies you have tried in the past that have both worked well, or were unsuccessful. I will challenge you in good ways while delivering unconditional acceptance of your preferences and coping strategies. I will encourage you to grow, adapt, and face life’s challenges, losses, and life transitions and to move through losses while maintaining or learning healthy ways to grow. I have experience with a vast range of clients from ages 4-76 years and multicultural backgrounds. I am ethical, experienced, confidential, and trustworthy.
I have 30 years of clinical experience from educational settings and private practise. It is important to me to support your personal growth, relationships, and future. Counselling is a transformative process. I am happy to facilitate your therapeutic process. I look forward to chatting with you.
In my experience people feel best when they are seen, heard, and valued. We will explore fresh ideas based on sound research in a safe, calm, and supportive therapeutic environment. Personal growth and acceptance feels great! Let’s talk about it and explore your concerns and issues warmly.
