I have a Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling, and have 25 years' experience in working with clients in a mental health context. Prior to that, I worked in a long-term care facility and with youth programs, so I bring into my practice a wealth of experience in working with all age groups and with many different demographics.
My clients prove to me over and over again that sometimes the greatest healing force is to be heard and validated. In addition to providing a safe environment for clients to talk things out, I provide clients with the self-regulating skills (emotion regulation skills, time management and self-care), in order to help you increase feelings of stability and confidence. Specifically, I offer DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and I am familiar with community programs that may be of help to you
I will meet you where you're at whether it's the first session or the 12th session. I like for my clients to take the lead in our sessions and I will follow your lead. After careful listening and some questions, I may invite you to explore worksheets, videos or books, or suggest experiences to help you learn about yourself and take charge of your life.
