Experience supporting individuals with a variety needs and goals.
I have worked in private practice, community organizations, and education. I will support the direction that your counselling path takes you.
Counselling for Adults
If you are looking to gain insight or clarity on issues that have been challenging for a week, months, or perhaps years, individual therapy may be a great option for such exploration. In this one-on-one setting, you will be offered a warm, caring, and supportive space to explore what contributes to your feelings of being stuck. My approach is to provide counselling with kindness and curiosity.
A few examples of concerns that may lead an individual to seek counselling are:
- Family issues
- Parenting concerns
- Relationship challenges
- Traumatic experiences
- Grief and loss
- Addiction
- Overwhelming emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety, or guilt.
In our work together, I will tailor my approach to you and what best fits your needs. My approach is eclectic and may draw on other evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
You do not need to cope with these challenges alone.
Counselling for Youth 12+
It is quite common for young people to be reluctant to share their concerns with their parents for a many reasons. Although this can be difficult for parents, the most important thing is that their child is talking to someone that they can trust. Some challenges that youth may face are:
- Peer and social issues
- Dating
- Family relationships
- School, work and future pressures
- Substance Use/Misuse
- Self-harm/Suicidal Concerns
- Anxiety
- Depression
Adolescence can be both an exciting and challenging time. Normalizing counselling to support a young person's mental health will help set the stage for well being in adulthood. I have many years of experience working with youth and young adults in various settings and I would love to help.
