My practice includes therapy for individuals form 10 to 100 years of age.I have over 20 years of experience providing counselling and specialize in trauma. I am trained in the use of cognitive behaviour therapy and in EMDR. Please note all sessions are offered online only.
What is EMDR?
EMDR stands for eye movement and desensitization reprocessing. It is a scientifically proven form of therapy that focusses on traumatic events in a person's life. It's goal is to reduce the negative emotions associated with the traumatic event while retaining the memory.
EMDR Explained
FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
I have had the pleasure with working with first nations people and strongly support them and first nations traditions. I am happy to work with first nation people and am aware that first nations people can obtain free counselling provided they have a treaty number.
Other mental health issues
In addition to helping people with traumatic past events, I also specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction.
Payment
Most people qualify for having counselling sessions covered by their own insurance through such entities as Blue Cross, Sun Life, etc. For those of First Nations descent, there therapy is covered through the First Nations Inuit Health branch of the Health Canada.
