Youth Addictions

I am a mental health therapist, educator, and consultant. I work with youth and adults, ages 12 and up. My specialization is in working with people who are experiencing symptoms of stress: depression, anxiety, mood and emotional imbalances, addictions, physical and physiological health conditions, anger, and more. I integrate mindfulness practices, therapeutic yoga, and somatic techniques in my work with clients who are interested in taking a more holistic approach to their mental health treatment. My services are eligible for claims through Blue Cross, Veterans Affairs Canada, and most employment insurance benefits (I work under the supervision of Registered Counselling Psychologist Dr. David Paré)

Youth Addictions

Through psychotherapy, the primary goal is to help move individuals forward to improve their mental health and well-being, utilizing evidence-based modalities. The process allows the individual, couple or family to open lines of communication, understand behaviours and ultimately move forward in their lives. This practice offers individual therapy, child and adolescent therapy and parenting education and skill building. Evidence based therapies are individualized to meet the needs of each client. Special Services During Pandemics (e.g. COVID/Corona), Disasters and Related Emergencies During the COVID-19 pandemic I am offering online sessions as well as telephone sessions. Please contact me directly to discuss these options further.
