ME First Wellness Professional Counselling

I have been in the education and social wellness field for almost 20 years. I specialize in counseling individuals to live purposeful joy filled lives by focusing on Mental and Emotional work first. As Alfred Adler suggested, “first we think, then we feel, and then we act”. I specialize in helping individuals navigate through issues related to stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions using techniques supplied by REBT, Reality Therapy, WDEP and Motivational Interviewing. My approach supports client competencies (strengths) and solution based therapy. I also have training in Art and Narrative Therapy approaches. I work from a common factors integrative perspective that is primarily centered on Existential here and now interactions and the personal freedom and responsibility to choose something quite different from the past. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve their personal life goals.
