Couselling is a very individual and private experience. Sometimes people come to a therapist to overcome emotional pain or discomfort they are experiencing; sometimes they come because they want to resolve some inner conflict; and sometimes they come just because they want to become a better person. I try to match my skills with your needs and work sensitively with you to sort out what it is that brought you to me. I use a variety of therapeutic tools in a transparent way. I work with couples and individuals, both men and women.
I have been a social worker for more than 25 years working with families in distress. I have been a licensed counselling therapist since 2013. I have experience, skills, and specialized training in providing Couples Counselling and Family Counselling. I've been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Gottman Therapy for couples. I offer EMDR.
My husband and I live rurally North of Clyde. I have two offices located in Westlock and Barrhead, AB. The pandemic has given me the opportunity to practice and become proficient at video based counselling for people who are too far to drive. If you preferr this approach, just let me know.
