About Me

I work primarily with adolescents and adults. Having over 23 years in the field of Counselling and over 32 years in the field of education - I love working with youth and adults and am skilled with a variety of therapies. I enjoy problem solving and use both clinical interview skills and as well as assessment to quickly determine a pathway to healing with the client. I read extensively about neuroscience, TCM and generally I am passionate about learning new things. I have the EMDR course and am studying Relational Life Couples Therapy. I am presently working to be clinical hypnotherapist. I also have specific training in EMDR with children and am working on a Play Therapy Certification. I completed my Certification in Clinical Supervision.
