A bit about me.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
and most people can’t see the forest for the trees
For over 30 years, I have enjoyed helping individuals grow, learn and experience life the way that they have hoped they would. To this process I offer genuine compassion, respect and sensitivity to individuals in need, strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the ability to form authentic, respectful, and supportive connections. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO member #002637) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA member #6624). I am also proud to serve fellow therapists and counsellors as a Director with CCPA on the Board for Technology & Innovative Solutions (TISC).
Proud Veteran
I am also a proud Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) after serving 7 years in the Canadian Navy through Reserve and Regular Force Deployments. I am both proud and fortunate that I was able to travel extensively representing Canada here and abroad.
Academics & Training
I have an Undergraduate degree in Psychology (B.A.) from McGill University with a focus on Social and Clinical psychology, as well as a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology (M.C.). I completed an 18 month post-graduate clinical internship program in Family and Couples systems and therapy as well as Level 1 Gottman Couple training and a "7 Principles for Making Marriage Work" Workshop Facilitator. I am highly skilled in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), Structural Therapy and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for both Individuals and Couples.
Other ways I help
As well as individual and couples work, I also work with companies, schools, and businesses as a Workplace Consultant to share psycho-educational resources through experiential seminars and informative workshops so that organizations can also function in a way that is more in line with their ideal work environment. In times of more immediate need, I have successfully completed the Critical Incident Responder Training with the Crisis Care Network (CCN) and assist organizations to respond to and cope with crises that occur. I have a wealth of experience helping individuals and teams through workplace traumatic events such as accidents, death, labour disputes, and layoffs.
Over the years, I have had the privilege to work with many London and areas businesses and institutions: University of Western Ontario (UWO), Canadian Mental Health Agency (CHMA), London Hydro, Fanshawe College, General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), London Health Sciences Corp (LHSC), Brescia University, Victoria Hospital to name a few.
