Synergistic Counselling
  Wellness .  Courage .  Strength

My approach to psychotherapy is of a client centered nature, where YOU and YOUR WELLBEING are what matter to me.  In choosing to work with me, you can expect a courteous, professional, confidential and warm therapy environment because my therapeutic relationship with you begins when you walk through the door.  

​

My approach to beginning psycotherapy with you is assessment.  This is a process that can take several sessions to complete.  It begins with a clinical interview, which is where I begin to learn about you; what is happening in your life currently; and, what has happened to you in the past.  My assessment process also utilizes measurment of symptoms as part of this process.  It both provides a baseline picture of what you struggle with and also helps inform clinical decision making.

​

My approach to psychotherapy and assessment is also to be transparent, both with you and your treatment team.  If you have questions about your assessment, I encourage you to ask.  If you want your family physician to be included, please let me know.
