Searching for solutions to problems like these by yourself isn't easy. Making the decision to try counselling is the first step. Sometimes, finding the counselor or therapist who is right for you can also feel difficult. You might have questions like: Will I feel judged? Will counselling work for me?
Will it be worth the investment of time, energy and money? Can it even make things worse? It's natural to feel uncertain about seeking help and you're wise to ask these questions. I have 20 years of professional counselling experience and I have helped hundreds of people just like you. I understand how hard life's challenges can be and I know that it takes courage to stand up to the problems affecting your life.

I consider it an enormous privilege to do this work. I feel deeply honoured and grateful to be allowed into people's lives and to discover the tremendous skills, resources and abilities everyone possesses. It is a pleasure to help clients uncover these attributes and use them to find the knowledge and solutions they are looking for to create positive change in their lives.
You may be looking into counselling because you are feeling upset and stuck with your situation and are looking for some solutions and support. Or you may be struggling to make an important life decision and want a way to figure things out. You have been feeling frustrated and angry lately and it's affecting the people closest to you.
You and your partner are busy with life, dealing with the everyday stress of raising children, working in demanding jobs and paying bills. Couples often get stuck in a negative cycle or "dance" that leaves them feeling unhappy, alone, angry or hurt and far apart from each other. What I will do is to try to understand your "dance" and also to understand the feelings that you each have in relation to each other.
The first step is to contact me to arrange a brief phone call to book an appointment, verify health insurance coverage if applicable, and receive the Pre-counselling Questionnaire and Information Package. My fees are $140/hr for individuals and $150/hr for couples. Some people meet with me once a week, other people meet with me every other week or once a month.
My office is located in the heart of Old Whitby at 206 Gilbert St. West in a beautifully converted century building. If you do not reach me immediately, please feel free to leave a message on my confidential voice mail. I am usually able to return your call promptly and almost always within 1 business day.
