If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected or struggling with difficult emotions (i.e. depression, anxiety, burnout or anger), I can certainly support you. We all get hit with hardships. It takes courage to seek help. I am happy to work with you to relieve your stress, achieve wellness and improve you quality of life. My area of specialty includes working with individuals, couples and families to manage and heal from the impact of depression, anxiety and trauma. I have an eclectic approach that combines several modalities i.e. CBT, Psychodynamic & Narrative therapy). I also offer group counselling & supervision services.
I have worked in hospitals and community centers, with many clients of diverse backgrounds through their personal hardships. My trauma-focused strength-based services include improving communication, stress-management and self-nurturing skills. Together we can make measurable improvements with mental health difficulties.
