It is my heart to help others in the areas that they struggle with emotionally, mentally, relationally, physically, and/or spiritually. With an empathetic, person-centered, and strength-based therapeutic stance, I will provide a safe and secure environment where you can feel heard and understood. In collaboration with you, we will draw from your own experiences, emotions, understandings, values, and beliefs as we explore new ways to work through your concerns. Upon request, I will use an integrative counselling approach with Christian faith along with guidance from the Bible. When working with youth and parents, I also draw from my 17 years of experience working as an educator and Learning Support Teacher. ####Training: - Master of Counselling (Briercrest Seminary, Sask.) - Bachelor of Education (University of Lethbridge, AB.) - Bachelor of Science (University of British Columbia, BC) - Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) (ICEEFT) - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Externship (ICEEFT) - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Core Skills (ICEEFT) - Emotionally Focused Family Therapy - Grief and Crisis Counselling - Narrative Therapy - Solutions-focused Therapy - Basic Biblical Counsellor Training Course (RFCC) - Beyond Suffering (Christian Institute on Disability) - Level B Assessment Certificate for Grades K-12 (WIAT Assessments) - Cutting Edge Strategies to Improve Executive Function Skills: Foundations and Advanced Implementation (Cognitive Connections) - SCERTS Model Introduction & Application Certificate (Communication Crossroads) ####Areas of development: - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy currently working towards certification - Pyschotherapy for Aging Clients - Clinical Applications of Polyvagal theory - Internal Family Systems - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
