My focus is one on one individual counselling over the phone and through virtual counselling from my home office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have worked primarily with youth 13+, as well as the adult population. I have assisted clients who identify as female, male, and non-binary.
I integrate traditional talk therapy with a psychoeducational approach during individual sessions, so that you develop the tools needed to overcome the challenges you encounter in life. This combines a bit of talk therapy, psychoeducation, and sometimes some homework between sessions to keep you engaged in the healing process. Healing doesn't stop outside of the therapy room.
I use a structured but flexible approach in therapy to keep you engaged in the process. First, we focus on goal setting as a guide to identifying your values and priorities in life. I find this activity helps us to prioritize our time together and ensure we stay on track. This structure also gives light to who you are as a person and what you hope to accomplish with your time in therapy. As therapy progresses, we start unpacking your life story and we "take inventory" over different areas of your life to see what small changes we can make to increase your sense of well-being. Using a blend of psychoeducation and talk therapy, we get to the root of issues and start building and expanding our own “coping skills toolbox” to use when challenging situations arise. After each session, you are provided with self-development homework to test out and incorporate your new skills into your everyday life.
My goal is to help you to feel more in control over different areas of your life, give you the skills you need to deal with challenges as they arise, and to help manage anxiety, anger, and depression or symptoms of ADHD. I want to help you to move towards thriving rather than just surviving in life - and to see the joy in the little things in life.
I provide phone and virtual counselling across Saskatchewan. I also work with clients who are 15 years of age and older who have various needs. If you are unsure about what I have to offer, send me a message!
I also create custom workshops, webinars, and presentations on your topic of choice for a sliding-scale fee. Please contact me for more details.
