About Me

I am now retired. Below is the About Me information I was using at the end of my career. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As a compassionate, professionally trained and highly experienced therapist, my goal is to help you achieve the changes you desire. By training I am a Registered Social Worker. I was also a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist from 1984-2017. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in predicting the outcome of therapy. This refers to a client's and a counselor's ability to create a trusting connection, the client's experience of being heard, understood, accepted and cared about and the professional and personal credibility of the counsellor. While none of us can change difficult situations from the past, we can change our thoughts, our feelings, our body's responses and our behavior, today and tomorrow. If you are challenged by problematic behavior patterns or distressing emotional states or negative thoughts or ineffective interpersonal relationships, give me a call. I would be honored to assist you in achieving your goals.
