Counselling

I have been a clinician for more than 25 years and have extensive experience in the areas of mental health, addictions, high risk adolescent issues, trauma and child welfare. Additionally, I have extensive experience in providing assessments and interventions for families experiencing high conflict separations and divorce.  When working with people, I think of each person’s life as a story and each chapter is unique. Some chapters are more difficult than others and transitioning from one to the next can be challenging.  I am committed to partnering with clients to examine what their story has been, what it has meant for them and what they want the next chapter to be. Whatever the issue is, mental health, substance abuse, a change in family structure or envisioning a new academic or career path, it is an honour to share space with people as they find clarity and motivation to move forward in their lives.

Clinical Supervision

In addition to direct clinical intervention with clients, I provide clinical supervision and case consultations to individual clinicians, professionals, and community agencies. I have direct training in providing advanced clinician supervision and meet the requirements set out by the CRPO. I believe that supervision is a partnership of respect and reflection. In supervision, clinicians can take time and space to explore the complexities of the work and reflect on how they and the work impact one another.

Educational Consulting

I have had the pleasure of working as an educator in the post-secondary system throughout the duration of my 25-year career. Having taught extensively in both the College and University systems, I have substantive knowledge of how to navigate the complex and sometimes overwhelming decisions associated with one of the most important investments people make for themselves and their families. As an experienced educator and clinician, I am able to help students and families through every step of the process. From the beginning stages of considering interests and potential careers, to looking at specific programs and schools, the application process, the decision-making, and beyond, I partner with students and families to support them in moving into the next very exciting chapter of their lives.

Whether someone is a natural student who has excelled in their academics or a student who has been challenged to find their way, there are amazing educational opportunities waiting for them. I consider it a privilege to support students and their families as they engage in the process of finding just the right experience for them.
