My approach involves understanding your unique circumstances, building a strong and trusting relationship, applying proven interventions and practical solutions to the problems, and using direct feedback to increase awareness of blind spots. I work with clients to address immediate challenges and to identify and treat the root causes for lasting change. My style has been described as warm, validating, and honest with a dash of humor.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.
During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.
I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

Family Counselling Centres Inc
Family Counselling Centres Inc
At Family Counselling Centres, we have abandoned the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and wellness. We recognize that each case is acutely different than the next, which is
why we believe in holistic wellness; an approach that considers the whole person. We also utilize the latest research in brain development and mental health methodology.
Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, safe, accepting and supportive presence. We understand that there continues to be stigma associated with mental health and accessing services. Our therapists are advocates for prioritizing mental health and we value a preventative approach.

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.
