Nice to meet you

ABOUT ME

My initial interest in psychology started in my early 20's when I worked as a child and youth worker in a juvenile detention home. Fast-forward a few years and I chose to enter university for my Bachelor's degree. As my interest in people became even more profound, I completed a Masters and Doctoral Degree.

I am married and we have two adult children and four spectacular grandchildren. As I age, I continue to understand more about our world but maintain a youthful approach by continuing to counsel adolescents.

While it would be arrogant to describe myself as "wise" the lessons that I have learned in my life and in my work with others, has enriched my ability to communicate and understand others.

I hope that my humour, sense of responsibility and commitment to my clients, remains fundamental in my work as a psychologist.

My Therapeutic Style

I am trained in many modalities of psychotherapy and incorporate them into my personal style. No two people or their symptoms are the same. It is crucial to listen to the patient and formulate a treatment plan TOGETHER with the patient and therapist. A constant review and discussion about you needs and success is essential. I listen carefully, like an orchestra conductor, and try to pick out the notes and timing that require further work. Clients would clearly call me supportive, but that has never been enough for me. I will challenge you respectfully, direct you, and measure your success with you.

I have the expertise to help clients with varied personal issues.
