Counselling Philosophy
I believe that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it and that you possess the inner resources necessary to cope with even life’s biggest stressors. My job as your therapist will be to support you in your journey, as you explore your inner self and gain a deeper insight into your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. I use an integrative counselling approach where I tailor my approach to your needs and work collaboratively with you to set your goals for therapy. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental environment where you are able to unapologetically express yourself. I also gently challenge you to help you achieve the changes you want in your life. With the combination of these therapeutic elements, I believe that anyone can develop the strength necessary to not only overcome any challenges, but also to reach their full potential.

I am under the consultation / supervision of Dr. Martin Rovers, (mrovers@rogers.com) Ontario Registered Psychologist, for the ongoing development of my professional and ethical learning and for psychological services to my clients. I consult with Dr. Rovers regarding my clients on a regular basis. The receipt you will receive will be in my name, as a Registered Psychotherapist, which is acceptable by many insurance companies (e.g. Sunlife / government, others). If need be, I could issue a receipt in the name of Dr. Martin Rovers, Registered Psychologist, for the counselling services provided by me, a Registered Psychotherapist. It is your responsibility to determine which receipt works for our workplace insurance and benefits.
