Description
I am a registered social worker with over 20 years clinical experience working with children, teens and adults. I draw from evidence based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and have training in Gottman's Couple's Therapy. I work from a trauma-informed perspective. My approach is client-centred and collaborative and is designed to meet the specific needs of each client. I help clients identify their own strengths and inner resources. I believe in giving clients the tools and support they need to face the challenges they are facing.
