Youth Addictions

Are you experiencing conflict, stress, or grief in your life or relationships? Addressing communication and relationship issues can help create the intimate and harmonious relationships you desire. You can find the assistance you need as an individual, for your family, or as a couple around the following issues: anxiety, blended family issues, burnout, coparenting, communication, divorce, family of origin issues, grief or loss, parent-youth issues, personal development, relationships, school related issues, separation, stress and workplace conflict issues.   The value of talking with a professionally trained therapist is that you are getting help from an objective, skilled person within an emotionally safe environment. This allows you to receive assistance in assessing your situation and developing positive strategies within a supportive counselling relationship.   Counselling can help enhance your self-awareness helping you to develop more rewarding relationships and make positive life choices. Together we can explore your relationships patterns, which could be contributing to your present situation. I use a variety of treatment modalities including an emotionally focused approach, brief psychodynamic therapy, and solution focused therapy.
