I am dual trained and registered as a social worker and a health coach. I find this dual training very useful in my practice as I recognise that all health and wellness is biopsychosocial. Our physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing are integrally linked. As a social worker I am very skilled at managing difficult emotions and moving my clients along in ways that are practical and visible. With my training as a health coach I tend to be future oriented in my practice, and very solution oriented. I focus on my clients wholistic, with wellness including mental health, physical wellbeing, having connection, sleeping adequately, connecting with significant others, and keeping fit. While I am excellent in holding emotions, I try to make my therapy sessions engaging and interactive.
I have a long history as an academic, having been a Research Professor at multiple universities. This means that I am always current with innovations and interventions in mental and physical health.
I work both in-person and online. My clients range from young children to people at end of life.
My specialist areas include:
Depression and anxiety management
ADD and ADHD
Substance Use
Management of chronic illness
End of life wellness
