I approach my practice with the basic premise that we act the way we do for a reason. I believe that our past experiences, good and not so good, drive our current behaviour. If we can delve into that and figure out why we act and react the way we do, then we can potentially change some of our problematic behaviour.
I have three degrees, all focussed on human behaviour - one in psychology and two in counselling. I tend to use a person-centred approach in my practice, although I'm open to any technique that the client may benefit from. I have worked as a relationship counsellor in the past. I currently work supporting parents and caregivers of children who are separating / separated in making that transition as painless as possible, primarily by focussing on communication, anger, and stress.
I have also worked with clients who have experienced trauma and domestic violence. I have worked with perpetrators of domestic violence by supporting them to understand why they act the way they do. I have personal and professional experience in grief and loss as well.
I approach each new client with the same thought, you are a human being just like everyone else - not good or bad, just human. Oftentimes, people's experiences (especially as children), will determine how we are as adults. I often think 'how would I have turned out if this had happened to me?' This approach ensures I don't judge behaviour which may be problematic.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
