I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Approved Clinical Supervisor (RCC-ACS) with the BCACC, with a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling Psychology. I am also a Professional Member of the CCPA, possessing a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation, and an RP designation with the CRPO (Ontario). I am a Trauma and Violence Informed Therapist with 15 years of passionate work with youth, adults, and families who have been impacted by person-centred trauma, intergenerational trauma or environmental trauma. I offer a wide variety of treatment options including EMDR (Certified therapists and CIT), DBR , Somatic Therapies, Emotional Focused Therapy, CBT and DBT.
As a Therapist, I have 15 years of experience working with children, adolescences, and adults, in not-for-profit environments . I know that placing your trust and hope in the hands of another is among the most difficult decision one can make. I understand the importance of this choice, as well the feelings of vulnerability you may feel in taking this first step. Finding someone with whom you can trust to help support change while you improve the balance in your life and success in your future endeavours can be a challenge.
I believe that by focusing on individual strengths and abilities can help to empower change, learning and acceptance. I believe every person is entitled and deserving of respect, privacy and safe, confidential services. As a resident of the Niagara Region I bring 15 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Holding an MA in Counselling, Psychology, I bring my hands on work experience and education to provide you quality, confidential counselling, with you in the drivers? seat.
