Provider information

Description

I work in collaboration with clients, the client leads the way & sets the pace.  There are many ways to do therapy, I work with your particular goals & preferences, and I invite your feedback about our work together, to ensure we are staying on track and that you are getting what you want.  Counselling helps people start feeling better sooner.   My goal is to provide a comfortable space where people can hear themselves think out-loud, without judgment, criticism, and unsolicited advice, & feel supported as they navigate their challenges.

Summary

For over 20 years I've been working with people struggling with various challenges, including stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationships, and life transitions. During challenging times, our experiences can become burdensome, counselling helps to reconnect with strengths & resources, & develop new ones, so life feels manageable again. Counselling doesn't make problems disappear, but the therapeutic process reduces the negative impact of challenges & contributes to a sense of hope & possibility.  Talking helps, I work in collaboration with clients, to help people feel better sooner.
