Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association
I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Psychotherapy and Counselling Association. I have a Master of Education in Counselling degree; a three year program with coursework, supervision, and practical experience of more than 250 client hours. My experience includes eight months in the counselling department at Thompson Rivers University, supporting people in a variety of areas of personal counselling, academic success, and career counselling. I have been in private practice for four years.
Based on my personal, professional, and academic experiences, I apply a person-centered approach combined with elements of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe everyone is the author of their own story, can change the story if they choose, and has inner resources to create the life they want. Sometimes, it just helps to talk to someone to help make sense of what is happening and perhaps, get some tools.
In addition to counselling, I have worked with many students and families int he public school system, supporting students with: learning difficulties, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, dealing with conflict, and adolescent struggles. I have worked with parents in the areas of special needs designations, academic success, parent-child relationships, and communication skills.
My experience offers individuals, youth, and families greater insight, understanding, and peace of mind when navigating confusing or stressful situations that may arise in life. My goals are to offer support, suggest tools and techniques to help you examine your past/present, and empower you to build the life you want.
