Counselling can help with many concerns by providing a safe space to develop new skills, challenge old and limiting beliefs or just by being witnessed and validated. I’m currently providing Clinical Counselling for individuals, relationships and families and I work with adults and youth. I also provide counselling remotely by telephone or video calls. These are some of the areas that I can support you with:
- Recognizing and regulating triggers due to traumatic stress-PTSD-developmental trauma and increasing a sense of safety through reprocessing past trauma using a neurobiological approach (EMDR and somatic resourcing) and decreasing dissociative responses. Here’s a short video on how EMDR can help: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pkfln-ZtWeY
- Recognize occupational work stress/trauma exposure and implement healthier coping responses
- Substance use/misuse – reduction plans, treatment referrals, family counselling
- Support for those who are impacted by a loved one’s substance (mis)use
- Mood disorders (anxiety/depression)-psychoeducation and skills to manage
- Moving through & processing grief/loss
- Stress management and coping
- Support with postpartum depression and anxiety and with transition to/challenges with parenting and attachment
