Personal growth, Better communication, Healthy relationships
Trained specifically in the area of Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in relationship issues. I bring life experience to my training, as I am married and a mother of three now adult children. I am passionate about helping people find new and healthy ways to do relationships. My motto, personal growth, better communication, healthy relationships, reflects my goals for myself and those I work with. For the past 25 years, I have worked serving families in a number of capacities. With a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am a fully licensed Registered Clinical Counsellor in the province of BC. I have lived on Vancouver Island for the past 18 years and love calling the island my home.
A bulk of my private practice is dedicated to marriage counselling. I have a lot of experience, training and knowledge working with issues that affect couples, like infidelity, sexuality, and communication. The philosophy and skills I use in counselling also converts well into working with parenting issues, adult parent child relationships and other family related issues.
It is not always possible or advisable to attend counseling with the person or person’s whom you are having difficulties with. Alternately you may be aware that your personal issues are getting in the way of living the kind of life you want. Individual counseling can help you discover better ways to cope.
I have significant experience working with abuse, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and co-parenting for separated and divorced couples.
