Adults
Most people will go through a stage of life where they are struggling and how they cope with these struggles may define how successful they are at moving through them. I work by supporting and empowering people around issues that are important to them.
I support people in examining issues such as:
- Anxiety/Depression
- Relationship Issues
- Sexual Difficulties
- Divorce/Step-Families
- Parenting
- Disordered Eating
- Low Self-esteem
- LGBTQ Issues
- Grief and Loss
- Trauma
- Sexual/Physical/Emotional Abuse
APPROACH
Self Expression
I work with children and youth to express their innermost thoughts and feelings and help them work through issues in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Cognitive Strength
I help young people develop cognitive awareness and the ability to slow down their thoughts and automatic reactions in an effort to better understand their triggers and to provide tools in decreasing unhelpful thoughts.
Psycho-education and Skills Training
I educate to help youth gain an awareness of what is going on in their mind and body and provide skills in managing what they are struggling with.
