Youth Addictions

Many of us face challenges to our wellness, resilience and sense of balance. During difficult times, we may choose to seek professional support to assist in finding our way through. I believe that all people have innate strengths, gifts and creativity, and can benefit from an empathic, curious, and safe therapeutic relationship through which to explore the material of their life. I work with children, youth or adults and and supervision and clinical consultation to professionals, and offer an initial free phone consultation. I am trained as a Social Worker (Masters level) and Expressive Arts Therapist and integrate approaches from various schools of thought into my method of working. These influences include contemporary relational psychotherapies, feminist, anti-oppressive, cognitive behavioural, expressive arts, somatic and trauma-focussed approaches informed by interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness and other practices and perspectives from a number of spiritual traditions.
