Areas of Special Interest

Here are my areas of special interest:

  • Anxiety
  • Diabetes Distress, transitions, and related concerns
  • Depression
  • Life Transitions
  • Parenting
  • Personal Development
  • Self Expression and Creativity


I have worked successfully on these concerns with adults of all ages, youth, and people diagnosed with ADHD and high functioning autism. I take a holistic approach to therapy, asking you to consider your physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects. You bring your reflections, questions, and experiences to therapy and I listen deeply and respond in an open, supportive, and non-judgmental way that I hope will allow you to explore and share more deeply as we develop a trusting relationship. For more about how I work with client, please see my Individual Therapy page.

Anxiety
Everyone experiences anxiety. It is a normal and uncomfortable part of life. If you find that your nervous or edgy feelings are interfering with your social, work, or other parts of your life by causing you worry, avoidance or obsessions, be assured, therapy with me can help relieve your symptoms and help you feel like yourself again


Diabetes Distress & related concerns
Diabetes is a complicated disease that is full of present and future risks. Diabetes Distress is the often hidden emotional burden, relentless worries, and ongoing frustrations that patients (and their caregivers) experience with self-management of diabetes. I have training from JDRF and Diabetes Canada to offer support for self-management and related issues.


Depression
Depression is not sadness, it is more like a loss of feeling, especially in the things you use to take pleasure in. Depression can feel like numbness, inertia, or even despair. I offer support and direction to help you work through depression, whether it is chronic or your first episode.
Life Transitions
Life is complicated and we sometimes need help navigating major life transitions through adulthood, such as making choices about education, work, a life partner, becoming a parent, managing acute or chronic conditions. I offer deep listening to support you as you consider choices.
Parenting
Is life so busy you feel disconnected from your kids? Wondering how to connect so they will listen? Not sure if things are on track? Feeling like your childhood did not prepare you to parent well? I will work with you to strengthen your connection with your kids.


Personal Development & Self-Expression
Would you like to know more about yourself? Would you like to connect with your creativity and spontaneity? I can help with Expressive Arts Therapy. No arts experience is necessary! I can ease you into self-expression and a new sense of yourself through exploration and play in the arts. If you are feeling stuck or constrained, creative expression can help release those feelings.
