Areas of Specialization
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)- for effective treatment of acute and/or chronic anxiety and/or depression (adult/teen/childhood). I am a seasoned CBT practitioner with advanced, post-graduate training in CBT for anxiety and depression from the world renowned, Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy, in Philadelphia, USA. For parents seeking intensive expertise in the treatment of their child's anxiety, I offer a second, unique option for guidance: "Success Coaching for Parents of Anxious Children".

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Healthy Weight Loss and Health Maintenance - addresses cognitive, emotional and behavioural obstacles involved in emotion-triggered over-eating (note: for participation in this therapy, physician approval and involvement is required.)
- Couples Counselling - often via a combination of CBT and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
- advanced communication skills for managing conflict and challenging personalities
- navigating challenging life transitions (e.g. divorce, loss, change of career, etc.)
- direct and collaborative career/lifestyle coaching and career assessment
- stress management; burnout prevention and treatment
- coaching for optimal life/work balance
