Counselling and Consulting
Services
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I am committed to partnering with you, listening to your concerns and working with you to develop your life to your greatest potential.
The therapeutic relationship is focused on nurturing, hope, inspiration and healing; all necessary for you to grow and thrive.
My work is guided by professional standards and guidelines, as outlined by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I engage in ongoing education and regular psychotherapy supervision to ensure the highest standards in my work.
My highest priority is assisting you in your recovery and I am committed to maintaining a safe and healthy relationship in which to do this important and life changing work.
I offer therapy to address the after-effects of trauma including, short-term stabilization work to aid with depression, anxiety, self-injury, grief, and emotional distress and longer-term therapy to work on attachment and trauma related relational wounds. I draw from a wide range of training and best practices to help you move forward in your life.
Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions you may have about the possibility of us working together. I look forward to talking with you.
