I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) and a Canadian Certified Addictions Counsellor (C.C.A.C). I strive to create a strong, client centered connection, based on openness, honesty and respect. My counselling style is collaborative, and focuses on increasing self-awareness, honoring one's own insights, and finding ways to remove obstacles in areas where they feel stuck or need growth. I structure my counselling style by incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Family Systems and Trauma Informed Care.
I have been a counsellor for 13 years, helping people with struggles such as, depression and amotivation. I specialize in addictions and I work with adult individuals or couples who are dealing with substance use and other addictive behaviors. I also work with families that have been impacted by their loved one's addiction and provide group support.
Taking the first step is not always easy as it comes with its own twists, turns, anxiety, expectations, and fear of the unknown. I commend you for taking the first step and would be honored to work with you!
