My professional background includes working as a Registered Social Worker who counselled families, teenagers and children in crisis. I also have experience as a career and work counsellor. I made the change from Social Worker to Psychologist to provide myself with further intellectual/life challenges and to continue to pursue a career of helping people navigate their way through life's obstacles.
Through the professional skills and abilities I have
developed in my education and in my work -- I feel that I can successfully help
many people in many different areas of their lives. Philosophically, I truly believe that
respect for each individual client and their own unique situation is the key to
understanding and helping my clients.
Perhaps, most importantly, I very much enjoy developing empathic, warm,
honest, compassionate relationships with my clients -- this is truly the
strongest foundation from which personal growth and individual change are built
from. I also find it crucial to be
flexible and open to accepting the client's own views on incepting change in
their lives.
As a solution-focused counsellor/therapist, my goal is to
help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.
While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to
better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying
complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing
behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from
experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I take pride in providing all of my clients with a
counselling atmosphere of:
Compassion
Honesty
Openness
Sincerity
Respect
Warmth
Empathy
Acceptance
Please allow me the honour of helping, guiding &
supporting you on your journey through life.
FIND YOUR BALANCE!
