Description
As a registered social worker with over 17 years of experience, I provide a non-judgmental, therapeutic space for individuals and couples to work through challenges in their lives. Utilizing a strengths-based, compassionate counseling approach, I help people understand themselves at a deeper level so that they can overcome their struggles and get unstuck in life. I am experienced in working with a variety of counseling modalities including solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy.
