Déclaration personnelle:
Welcome to my website. I believe that we all struggle with difficult times over our lives and sometimes we repeat behaviors that are not leading to what we desire in our lives and relationships. I am passionate about creating a warm, safe environment for you to explore how you can live a more fulfilling life that honours your strengths and uniqueness.
I have worked for over 20 years in the social service field. This includes employment at Addiction Services York Region, Southlake Child and Adolescent Mental Health Centre and Family Services York Region where I was the Clinical Supervisor for the Partner Assault Program and the Direct Accountability Program. I completed practicums at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Mental Health HIV/AIDS Clinic and at York Support Services Network. Recently, I have been a teacher’s assistant at York University’s School of Social Work during my doctoral program and continue to conduct a private practice in Richmond Hill.
From the first phone call my practice emphasizes confidential, non-judgmental, warm, strength-based counselling. I look forward to connecting with you and providing a 20-minute consult (no fee for consult) to explore how we can work together on your goals. I also provide E-counselling to address access issues.
