You’ve been through a lot. We all have. It’s so easy to become overwhelmed and stressed with life’s twists, turns and uncertainty, creating imbalance which can impact one’s overall health. It is my passion and great honor to be able to provide Counselling Services by using an integrative approach. An integrative approach uses a variety of modalities and includes an individualized treatment plan to facilitate self-knowledge, emotional acceptance, personal growth, and promotes a variety of coping strategies. My desire for you is that you find deep, lasting, positive transformation by: addressing and resolving specific problems, coping with crisis, developing personal insights and knowledge, working through feelings of inner conflict, and improving relationships with others. Together we can work on a variety of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, transitions, adjustment to illness, relationship problems, chronic pain, burn-out, and existential crisis. From my experience working in healthcare, I have extensive experience working with individuals that have been diagnosed with a variety of serious illnesses as well as life-limiting conditions, including Neurological conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Brain Tumour, Stroke, Acquired Brain Injury, and Spinal Cord Injury. I have supported individuals and their family members through the challenging life transition and life altering diagnoses. I have experience in providing Counselling and education in areas of adjustment to illness, advance care planning, legacy work, palliative care, end-of-life, and grief and bereavement. In any therapeutic practice, the relationship between you and the Counsellor is very important. This is why I offer a 15-minute phone consultation free of charge so that you have a chance to determine if I would be the right Counsellor for you.
