I am dedicated to providing compassionate counselling services to individuals dealing with mental health issues, life changes and challenges and addictions/substance usage. I empower and assist my clients in identifying core issues which can drive unproductive and/or unhealthy thoughts and the subsequent actions. These core issues also underpin addictive behaviours or maladaptive coping skills. Together we determine the appropriate plan or course of action that the individual will take. Achievable goals are set that translate into new strength and growth, enabling integration of past experiences with the resultant restored healthy balance for body, mind and spirit.
A variety of evidence-based counselling techniques are utilized including but not limited to:
cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT and Trauma Informed CBT)
motivational interviewing
trauma-informed practices
art and music therapy
mindfulness/awareness practices
psychotherapeutic practices
somatic practices (EFT)
12-step program recognition and incorporation spirituality and practices
These therapeutic interventions aid clients in overcoming negative thought patterns and/or beliefs to help calm the body, mind and spirit. I believe in determining and dealing with core issues through a holistic and evidence-based approach. This addresses mental health and addiction issues in order to bring the body, mind and spirit back to a restorative and calm state and to aid the client in establishing their own emotional regulation capacities.
