Counselling is different than talking to a friend or family member and is not always comfortable ...but in turn should provide clarity.
I feel strongly that change happens when you decide that certain things in your life are no longer serving you. My question to you is, “ how to you know you want a better life?” or “what keeps hope alive for you?” The most effective piece to the counselling relationship is the rapport between you and your counsellor. I, above all, look to connect with my clients in a way that creates a space that feels safe and non-judgemental. My previous career in Nursing has strengthened my capacity to care and listen to others in an unbiased way. My work as a health professional has also equipped me understand how the intersections of physical and emotional aspects of persons affect well-being.
It is my belief that healing takes place within the context of a collaborative relationship.
After spending over 2 decades in health care I completed my Masters in clinical counselling through the City University of Seattle. I continue to engage in ongoing professional development, training and supervision. Doing so has equipped me to feel comfortable engaging with various therapeutic modalities that address a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and relationship counselling.
