Staff

My practice is concentrated around a client-centred approach, always bearing in mind the philosophy of ‘unconditional positive regard’ that should be afforded every person. Together we will identify challenges, make goals and work towards recognizing and removing obstacles.

My aspiration as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which work can be collaborative with my client, to address the impacts of trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and/or grief and make the changes necessary to live the healthy and fulfilling life that they want for themselves. The healing journey is a partnership where the client is the expert on their life and I am there as a coach to encourage improvements.

I was in the Canadian Military Reserves for over 30 years as a Medical Assistant and Health Care Administrator and wanted to assist Soldiers with their Mental Health struggles, so I earned my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology in 2017. I completed my practicum at the Centre for Abuse and Trauma Therapy in Kingston and remained on staff there for an additional 2 years. In 2019 I started school for my Masters in Social Work and am now employed as a Social Worker for the military in Trenton ON.

Building rapport and developing trust with a therapist is the strongest predictor of success in therapy. I am available for a free consultation, so we can learn about each other, you can ask questions and we can determine if we are a good fit.
