There isn't anything you can't talk about that you should feel embarrassed by or ashamed of in our counselling sessions. I consider myself a "progressive inclusive" therapist, providing a unique non-judgmental safe space to discuss any aspect of your life, concern or struggle you may be having.
My approach is empathetic and relatable, drawing on many therapeutic techniques to meet your individual needs. I provide an eclectic combination of personal, life and professional experience, with a high level of diplomacy, sense of humour and a remarkable ability to establish rapport and trusting relationships.
Over the years, I have worked with individuals and couples providing a highly confidential, open and safe progressive therapy space centered around a wide range of topics, some of which are included, but not limited to the list below.
Telus | Homewood Health | Compsych | Cigna | Optum | Workplace
Options | LifeWorks
Canadian Tire | IKEA | Governemnt of Canada | CIBC | ViaRail | Purolator | Chartwell
TD Bank | Nova Scotia Health Authority | Government of BC | Home Depot, and many more

Please understand that this policy is based on fairness to you, your therapist, and other clients needing appointments. There is a high demand for services and for certain times of day, and when you book a session, that time is reserved exclusively for you. I appreciate your understanding.
