It is my pleasure to provide therapy, counselling in the Ottawa region and have for 15 years. I originate from a small central Ontario community and since coming to Ottawa for graduate work have not strayed. I have a lovely spouse Bonnie and two amazing daughters Hope and Melody. I must say I have changed as a therapist after becoming a parent. My personal and professional interests lend currently towards emotions and the interplay with secure/insecure attachment with its impact on mood. As a therapist I am current in Cognitive Behavioral, Diablective Behavioral, attachment and Emotion Focused Therapy.
I provide service to individual, couples, and families in a goal directed educational, supportive manner. Issures that we can address: •Problems with mood or anxiety •Coping and interpersonal conflict •Unstable emotions and mood swings •Anger management •Marital satisfaction, conflict, •Healthy parenting after separation •Parenting challenges •Problem drinking, drug use, gambling
As I noted earlier I really do enjoy being a therapist, and candidly speaking, feel that therapy, or surfing the couch should be fun. Importantly however, work is going to be done, goals will be clear, and change or improvement in mood and function will take place.
