Psychotherapy & Trauma Issues
We come from many different backgrounds and experiences, some good some not so good and to be real some just plain horrible.
In a therapeutic relationship I believe we work together, the therapist and the client, to discover a new perspective, a new way of understanding and perhaps a new way of feeling. This change in perspective may help us develop healthier and happier ways of being. Together we go on this journey, rediscovering the authentic parts of ourselves. My role is to guide, when guiding is needed, to reframe experiences and to support when support is needed.
My Practice involves the healing of survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Although I work with both men and women the majority of my clients are men and their significant others. I offer two groups for male survivors covering topics of trauma issues, safety, healthy and unhealthy coping strategies as well as many other issues. I work with my clients in groups, in relationships and as individuals.
As a member of the award winning team of Malesurvivor.org, Weekends of Recovery, I have been involved developing training for and awareness regarding male survivors issues for OPP, Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness, Ontario Victim Witness Services as well as many others.
I’ve been recognized as an honoured member in The Cambridge Who’s Who Registry of Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs.
I am a member in good standing with the Ontario Association of Counsellors, Consultants, Psychotherapists and Psychometrists.
