"When we are no longer able to change a situation—we are challenged to change ourselves."
Victor Frankl

To have my clients take up the challenge to change—this is the power I try to help them achieve.  I work towards creating an atmosphere of comfort, safety, compassion, and respect to facilitate this change.  I work virtually.

Many people have barriers blocking their ability to lead a fulfilling life. The conditions may be anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, depression, self-esteem, martial/relationship problems, family concerns or cross-cultural issues. My life's work has been working with individuals and couples to help move past these blocks. 

I use both short-term and long-term psychotherapy to fit the unique needs of my clients.  This may include a look at the past or an examination of the present.  The focus may be the mind/body connection or gaining perspective of one's actions with others.  I help clients to discover what is holding them back and develop better coping strategies to move forward.  The goal is to realize self-acceptance and self-esteem.  The goal is to feel relief and a new sense of freedom.  The goal is to find purpose, meaning, and peace.

For clients who can’t face the workday, who are on stress leaves and temporarily unable to function in their daily lives for psychological and/or physical reasons, I use additional resources. Working with rehabilitation organizations and insurance companies, I help my clients overcome their difficulties in functioning and facilitate their successful return to work.

I also work with clients as an executive coach to support them to move forward in their career or to create a new career path.  Leadership development, working with challenging co-workers, skill enhancement, workplace balance, mentorship, handling change, networking and women's issues are some areas  of skill development I support clients with.

As a registered psychologist, my fees are usually partly or fully covered by extended health plans and private health insurance. Employee assistance plans also cover registered psychologists. Psychological services are eligible as a health care expense on income tax.

I welcome your calls or emails for more information and would be happy to discuss your particular situation, assess your needs and determine how I may help you. If my services aren’t suited to meet your needs, I’ll refer you to another trained professional. My schedule is flexible, including sessions in the mornings and weekends—opportunities for you to review your situation, renew your approach and realize the benefits of self-knowledge and mindful actions.
