Provider information
Description
I have been working in the counselling field for more than 25 years supporting people with a person centered and trauma informed and strengths based approach. Most of my experience is working in a rural health care setting as a clinician and leader and I have also worked for Indigenous and Not for Profit organizations. My focus in counselling is to support you to reach your goals in a way that works for you. I’ve learned that healing often happens in phases and that if a person is curious about working with a counsellor, its likely time to move into that next phase.
