Something I like for my clients to know about me is that I absolutely
love my job. It is so rewarding to me to watch as people begin to feel better - sometimes shifting major concerns that had been troubling them for as long as they can remember. Often people don't realize how much something was affecting them until it simply isn't an issue any longer. Very frequently they never allowed themselves to believe that full healing is possible.
I use a combination of traditional talk therapy together with a variety of energy psychology modalities that often help people to heal in a way that is typically more gentle and rapid than what most experience with talk therapy alone.
My clients tend to comment on my warm use of humour, gentle and compassionate approach, and comfortable manner.
I consider you to be the best expert on your own situation. I am someone who can provide support, another perspective, information, and concrete suggestions and feedback.
I have been a therapist for 16 years. I have been in private practice for 8 years and I also worked for 10 years at McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton, with most of those years in the Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Care Centre.
