I have worked in a variety of different roles over the years which include individual and family counselling, being a member of a mobile crisis intervention team, working in a hospital setting in the maternity unit, pediatric unit, and on site outpatient health clinic. I most recently was working in an all male correctional facility offering support to both the inmate's and their families. I consider myself to be a generalist and have supported people of all ages with a wide variety of situations.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session I take the time to get to know each person, by asking some general as well as background questions. I believe that this is a good way to learn what has played a role in shaping the person into who they are now. I will also ask you to prioritize your needs and develop a treatment plan to accomplish your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am able to quickly develop a connection with people of all ages, listen and to understand how I can best provide some support. I am able to infuse a touch of humor during some sessions which tends to create a comfortable and safe environment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts are powerful and have the ability to guide our lives in various ways, some positive while others are not. I have been successful in helping people of all ages examine their thoughts which has resulted in an increase of self esteem and confidence as well as a decrease in anxiety, depression, as well as other symptoms.
Couples Counseling
I think that it is Important to listen to and understand each person's perspective of their situation, therefore I initially meet with each person individually. I have found that this is the most effective way to get to the root of their situation.
