Safety...self care...solutions.... This combo can jumpstart change. The rapport between you and your counsellor is tremendously important in forming these three -- the trifecta of therapy. :o) Moreover, the safety of this partnership will be core in your problem-solving.
With this in mind, I will make every effort to forge a safe working partnership with you. Your needs and achieving your objectives are the focus. As you feel ready, we’ll explore identity, development, life changes, trauma ... and the decisions these require.
My clients range in age from 17 to 95 (yes, you read that right -- it's never too late!). I also see couples. Blending creative and traditional methods of therapy -- along with laughter! -- has seemed the most valuable mix for people in transition.
Self care, cross-cultural assimilation, school and employment-related issues (First Responders -- I am BCPFFA Endorsed), bullying, career changes, role clarification, and co-worker conflict, as well as changes unique to your circumstances, can be addressed. Together, our purpose is to find workable solutions that will enhance your life.
Areas of expertise:
- anxiety
- depression
- parenting
- work-related concerns
- life changes and choices
- ageing and its implications

Phone or email me. Ask whatever it is that you need to know before you decide one way or the other. I'd be pleased to help. Hope begins here....
