Additional Information about this counsellor or psychologist:

I am also registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association.

My training includes being a Level II Practitioner in Observed Experiential Integration (OEI).

Observed Experiential Integration is a neurologically based series of trauma integrative techniques to reduce and resolve the impact of trauma. OEI can be used on its own or in conjunction with other techniques and treatment modalities.

Three basic techniques are used in OEI:

  1. Covering and uncovering one eye at a time, while the client is experiencing a disturbing thought, feeling or memory.
  2. Tracking stimuli across the visual field while the client is experiencing thoughts, feelings or memories that are disturbing.
  3. A tracking process that helps to resolve painful or distressing signals from the body.

The ultimate goal of OEI is to integrate thoughts, feelings, sensations or traumatic memory bringing a strong connectedness between the two hemispheres of the brain.

I also have additional training in Addictions Counselling helping those individuals whose life has become unmanageable as a result of the activity or substance and in spite of negative consequences, the individual continues to participate in the activity or use of the substance.
