With more than three decades of experience working with high school students in Canada and internationally, I bring a unique sensitivity to issues related to the development of self-worth and self-esteem for young adults. I specialize in parental issues, transgenerational trauma, bullying and intimidation issues, addictive and compulsive behaviors, emotionally dysregulated behaviors, anger management issues, anxiety and depression, including those related to poor performance as well as anxiety-associated-high achievement and performance. I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Emotionally Focused (EFT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) and Internal family Systems. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of individuals, addressing many issues, particularly parental relationships, bullying, academic struggles, childhood traumas and self-esteem. At the heart of my work is the belief that authentic human connection and unconditional positive regard are essential for healing. My sessions are lived human experiences where transformation, growth and freedom are made possible through emotional safety. You will uncover your eventually buried psychological and spiritual strengths.
