Counselling is a process that allows a client, in a private and confidential setting, to explore a difficulty or distress experienced, a dissatisfaction with life, or loss of a sense of direction and purpose. The counsellor offers the acceptance, respect and encouragement helpful in building a trusting relationship. Counselling has the “purpose of assisting clients to understand their issues and concerns in order to enhance self-growth, personal effectiveness, interpersonal relationships, life adjustments, spiritual growth, and mental health”…
(B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors)
I know that humans thrive when their uniqueness is acknowledged as well as their desire for dignity, respect, equality, honesty and healthy connection. Within this context, I help individuals, couples and families with the following:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Grief and loss
• Adjustment to addiction recovery
• Relationship conflict
• Communication difficulties
• Life transitions (marriage, career, retirement, chronic illness)
• Work/life balance
• Body/mind/spirit connection
• Rehabilitation recovery
• Parenting
Individuals and couples who want to explore their spirituality as a resource for improving themselves, their interpersonal relationships, and their functioning in daily life are supported in this experience.
My counselling services are eligible for coverage with several Extended Health Plans.
I provide clinical and experiential supervision for counselling students and working counsellor professionals.
