About
Feeling isolated and misunderstood is a common result of the stress and emotional strain of coping; whether the concern is addiction (your own or that of someone close to you), domestic abuse, trauma, caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, depression, anxiety, or other challenges. I take an eclectic client centred, empathic approach to assist clients in the development of effective coping skills, making life style changes, strengthening relationships, and making new connections in their lives. Over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of witnessing clients cope more effectively and thrive.
I am a registered psychotherapist with 20 years experience supporting people and their loved ones impacted by addiction, violence, trauma, and serious mental illness. I integrate mindfulness practice, cognitive strategies, and dialectical behavioural therapy skills to support clients in identifying their goals and improving their quality of life.
My understanding of stigma, trauma, and power and control dynamics in relation to how people adjust and cope provides me with a unique ability to assist clients in developing fresh perspectives and gaining a new understanding of themselves and the people in their lives.
