Counselling and Therapy Services

In our work together, you can expect hopeful, practical approaches based on respected theoretical foundations. ​If you have specific goals, that's where we will start. However, many people are not sure what to expect from counselling or how to prepare. If that’s you, don’t worry! I will guide us through a collaborative process and we can figure out together what will be most helpful for you. You may find one or a few meetings to be all you need, or you may want longer term or occasional support. 

In addition to meeting and talking, our work together might include practical skills coaching, relaxation or meditation exercises, or other resources such as books or web sites. We can develop a plan together that meets your preferences, scheduling constraints, and budget. 
 I work with adults and young adults whose hopes include:

• ​Reducing the negative impacts of stress, low self-esteem, anger, or perfectionism 
• Overcoming the impact of living with worry, anxiety, sadness, depression, and grief​
• Creating a new normal after a loss or transition at work or at home
• Making good decisions and moving forward from traumatic events or life situations
• Improving communications and rebuilding relationships
• Career and academic counselling

I meet with clients in person, by videoconferencing, or by phone and have evening and weekend appointments available. My counselling and psychotherapy work is based on respected theories including:​Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness based interventions.
