My style of counselling and values
I strive to welcome you into a comfortable, safe, and respectful environment to promote growth and healing in your times of stress, uncertainty, and desperation.
I promise to nurture and uphold your personal and cultural values while you seek to courageously face life’s invariable disappointments and hard decisions outside the therapy room.
I hope to gently help you embrace and accomplish opportunities that are challenging you to break free of thought patterns and behaviours from your past; possibly patterns that could be stifling your dignity, contentment, relationships, and ability to see the "bigger picture" of your life's important and valuable journey.
In addition to biblical-based counselling, I may use a variety of complimentary styles based on what your goal is. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT for Couples), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Existential, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (to name a few).
