In my twenty plus years experience working in the community and public school system, I have supported a variety of folks including: children, youth, adults, couples and families. I seek to help clients recognize their strengths, as I work with them to live a richer and more fulfilling life based on their values. I deeply respect the relationship I have with my clients, and am honoured to support them to realize their goals.
I incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work which helps clients to clarify what is important and meaningful in their lives. The introduction of mindfulness and self-compassion techniques support clients to hold painful thoughts and feelings flexibly.
I also utilize aspects of Emotion-Focussed Therapy (EFT) which allows me work collaboratively with clients to explore and interpret their emotional experiences. Using EFT when working with couples allows them to appreciate the patterns of interaction they fall into when partners are in distress and are reaching out for support, comfort and security.
I would be more than happy to connect and offer the opportunity to explore your values and to walk with you as you work toward your goals. Please feel free to reach out and connect with me via text or email. I would be happy to have an initial fifteen minute phone chat at no charge to answer any questions you might have
