Making a decision to come into counselling is often preceded by a period of intense reflection. This is followed by a desire to seek help in managing the many struggles in life that at one time or another can affect us all.

I welcome calls so that you can explore your options in making a decision that feels right for you regarding your counselling experience.

I have over ten years experience working with people going through a variety of challenges and milestones in life. I provide professional, confidential counselling from my office in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau, or on Carling Avenue in Ottawa.

I believe in getting the most you can out of life. Counselling can be an important step in getting onto the path you choose for your life.

Are your services covered by my extended health care insurance?

It is important to call your provider and ask them if you are covered for psychological services. I provide a receipt that includes the information required to claim under this category.

How long are sessions and how many sessions will I need?

Sessions are 50-60 minutes. Because each situation is unique, an assessment is made at the onset and you will be invited to set goals for your therapy. Generally people come in once a week, but frequency and duration will be tailored to your needs.

Along with my experience in private practice I have counselled and taught in various settings including residential treatment, hospital settings, community centres, and schools. I also supervise therapists in training and have and worked on course development for post graduate and counselling studies in Canada and Australia.
