About Me

I specialize in treating:

 

 

 

I have worked at Catholic Family Services Bureau, a non-denominational counselling agency. 

 

I am passionate about helping people overcome obstacles in their lives and find well-being. 

 

I am grateful for the warm welcome we have received here in Cornwall.

In my experience, the most important thing I can do as a psychotherapist is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients.   I find that counselling is best when you feel understood, and we are working together as a strong team.  Compassion and empathy are vital in this process.

My theoretical orientation includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-cenetered therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).  I integrate the elements that I see as useful and appropriate to each unique client from these various theoretical models. 

Theory is important for all counsellors but it is important that theory is not everything.  I see counselling as a process of exploration, discovery, and change, which impacts real life.
