I offer both structured and supportive counselling based on your needs. I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help you notice, understand, and work towards changing your unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing allows us both to have a clear understanding of your goals and helps us develop a therapy plan that is aimed at increasing your personal wellbeing.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer career counselling services. I am certified to administer and interpret the Strong Interest Inventory which can assist those who are having difficulty in choosing a direction for schooling or employment ($20 for Strong report in addition to regular session fees).

I would consider my personal approach as one that is strength-based, positive, and hopeful. I have great faith in the clients with whom I get to work with and believe that every person is capable of achieving personal greatness.
