Focusing primarily on clients with symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, or trauma related suffering my aim is to provide relief from these symptoms. Through the provision of individual therapy to adults, families and couples, my goal is to provide the tools they need to move forward. I primarily work with couples and I enjoy helping them learn communication skills so they can reach resolution in conflicts and rediscover their passion for one another. Along with couples, I also enjoy working with adults and families to collaboratively identify and enhance their strengths while reducing the negative self-talk often associated with depression and anxiety. I use humor, empathy, and compassion in my person-centered approach, while helping people explore short and long-term goals for themselves in their lives. After working many years as a vocational counsellor in the Edmonton / Cold Lake area I have continued to expand on my counselling experience by finishing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
