Counselling Approach

 

I am a fully licensed and registered Clinical Counsellor who focuses on the treatment of: 

                                    depression

                                    anxiety

                                    trauma

                                    PTSD

                                    grief/loss

                                    disability/life transition issues

                                    self compassion

                                    stress management

                                    pain management

​

I am a collaborative and compassionate counsellor who respects diversity and accepts challenges – in all of their forms

​

In my sessions, I use an eclectic mix of therapeutic strategies, based on the needs, values, interests, and abilities of each individual client.  Said differently, sessions with me are about YOU - not what I read in a textbook!  We will explore together the strategies that work and make adjustments if or when they are a mismatch.  Sessions with me are neurodivergent and tailored to YOU.

​

Broadly, I aim to increase your awareness of the relation among your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours/actions (CBT), identify and respond effectively to intense emotions (DBT), live a rich and meaningful life while relating differently to the inevitable pains in life (ACT), and to work with rather than against the various sensations in your body.
