Personal Statement:
I specialize in telephone counselling for women, with training in feminist and cross-cultural therapy. Paired with mindfulness meditation practices, this forms the basis of a precise therapy as well as a deeply connected and compassionate relationship with my clients. With over 25 years experience, I honour the unique challenges and needs that women face. Counselling with me is collaborative, and emphasizes the health of the total person. I use a holistic approach highlighting emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. Telephone Therapy has many benefits - it is convenient, accessible, and research shows it is as effective as in-person counselling.
