I have enjoyed working as a Counsellor with children, adults, couples, and families within organizations and in private practice since 1983. I view counselling as a holistic process that takes into account the mental, practical, emotional, relational, and spiritual aspects of life especially during life’s inevitable challenges and transitions.
I support individuals in expanding their outlook, awareness, and experience of life so that it includes an increased sense of wholeness, connection, purpose, compassion, mindfulness, optimism, and joy. I offer relationship counselling for couples who wish to maintain and deepen intimate and long-term relationships. Relationship counseling includes communication and conflict resolution skills and strategies.
I also provide emotional and practical support to parents and children experiencing change and loss associated with separation and divorce. I work as a Collaborative Divorce Coach and Mediator for parents and a Child Specialist or Counsellor for children involved in separation processes. I help separating parents create a parenting plan, develop co-parenting skills, and make life-enhancing decisions as they experience the re-structuring their homes and families.
