I have been in practice as a counsellor/mental health clinician having the honor to work with children, youth, adults, and parents for about 20 years. I love my work and feel that I have really found my passion, my calling.
I have also contracted to non-profit agencies over the years as a trauma therapist working with youth and adults who have experienced recent or past trauma and experience anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm and various other mental health challenges.
Philosophy: The concept of Thiz Life was conceived back in 2010 when our first child was born. It was at this moment that my husband and I were touched with AWE of the miracle of life. It was then that the sheer intelligence of life was highlighted and we again recognized how the interruptions, whether that be the messages that we receive from others and/or society, and/or the small t traumas and/or big T traumas that we experience in life, can play a significant role on our mental health and how we see ourselves in this world.
With this recognition, we wanted to invite this AWE in our “miraculousness” back to humanity by creating Thiz Life Counselling and Thiz Life Apparel with the focus being on learning to love and accept yourself deeply and completely in the face of life’s interruptions.
I have extensive experience in many areas including mental health concerns across the ages and stages, childhood trauma and recent trauma, children’s behavioral concerns, parenting struggles, low- self-esteem, eating disorders, overall well being and life stress, etc. I have worked with children, teens, adults and parents with a diverse range of presenting issues.
I am trained in some of the most effective and proven therapy techniques in practice today. These methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR (Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Narrative Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, and Trauma-informed therapy. I enjoy learning and am always increasing my competency through on-going continued education and trainings.
I love my work and am dedicated to offering the best service possible. I maintain high level counselling ethics and maintain confidentiality. I provide space for my clients to be seen, to be heard, and to be known. I work with clients to illuminate their strengths and to build upon these gifts to get them from where they are now to where they would like to be.
