Payment Methods Private_Pay Languages Spoken English Description Of Practice Depending on your issues and needs, I use a practical, wholistic, psychoeducational and integrated approach to therapy that I feel is most appropriate for you. My theoretical perspective is shaped by the McGill Model of Nursing. I draw on psychodynamic and attachment theory, and incorporate emotion-focused therapy, cognitive-behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy as well as solution-focused therapy into counselling. My education and training in nursing and medical science, counselling and psychology, as well as theology and spirituality ensures that I understand clients from a truly wholistic perspective. Because early life experiences are influential in the way we understand and relate to the world, counselling may involve exploring unresolved issues from the past if they have lead to difficulties in your present life. Most of the emphasis in counselling is on the here and now. You choose what you want to work on. The majority of our work together will consist of talking about the issues you have presented. Counselling provides you the opportunity to talk openly and confidentially about your concerns and feelings in a non-judgmental environment. Within the context of the therapeutic relationship, you can expect your counsellor to •accept you the way you are •share your pain •help you explore and understand the nature of your concerns •assist you in setting goals that you desire for yourself •help you recognize and mobilize resources and strengths that reside within you, your family and the larger social context •provide insight into underlying reasons or root causes of your issues •give feedback •challenge •teach you new ways of coping and new skills that not only reduce tension, but help you solve problems •help you to make choices, consider consequences and accept responsibility for the results •facilitate lasting change in the way you think, feel, and act Additional Information Areas of Interest Stress Life transitions and traumatic events Depression Anxiety Anger Self-esteem Relationship difficulties, broken relationships, loneliness Pre-marital and marital counselling – communication, conflict, intimacy, family of origin, affair recovery, separation Childbearing issues Infertility Pregnancy and infant losses Effects of past sexual abuse Difficult/traumatic birth experiences Parent-child attachment Pregnancy and postpartum stress, depression and anxiety Breastfeeding loss and emotional discomfort with breastfeeding Parenting Loss and grief Physical health issues, chronic illness and pain Addictions including smoking cessation Spiritual issues Self-awareness and personal growth Workshops and seminars are offered on a variety of health topics designed to meet the needs of your group and community.
