their lives and relationships. Clients bring a wide range of presenting concerns, including:

broken relationships
family conflicts
loss and bereavement
depression and anxiety
career and vocation
traumas past and present

I often meet with people at important transitions in the seasons of their lives: preparing for marriage, navigating parenting challenges, facing the loss of work or a loved one, untangling the web of family relationships. Common to all situations is the hope and desire that life can be better.

testing

I am able to offer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Strong Interest Inventory (career discernment), the PREPARE and ENRICH relationship inventories and the Thomas Killman Conflict mode Inventory to my clients.

supervision

I provide supervision to social workers, pastors and marriage and family therapists. I am a supervisor candidate within the AAMFT (New!). Supervision may be in person or by phone. My special interest is in the development of Narrative skills and practices.

consultation

I provide client-centred consultation to colleagues and organizations who feel the therapeutic process has become "stuck" and desire fresh eyes and ears to offer new perspectives. I also consult with community service groups, such as All Aboard Youth Ventures, home of the River Restaurant on Roncesvalles Avenue.

I have provided on-site support and trauma consultation with organizations such as The Salvation Army and Gurza International following tragic workplace losses.

workshops

I enjoy public speaking and teaching. I provide in-service training with organizations and speak to community groups.

Recent Workshops:

"Movies that Move Us: The Next Generation," I presented a workshop entitled, "Movies that Move Us: The Next Generation," at the 17th annual conference of the Bereavement Ontario Network, held at Geneva Park Orillia on October 24-26th, 2007. Thirty conference participants attended the session which focused on the many ways that film can be incorporated in our work with those who mourn. We looked at how easy it now is to make a movie, the explosion of films on movie hosting sites like You Tube, and several films known to be companions in the grieving process including: Shadowlands, Sleepless in Seattle, Waking Ned Devine, Steel Magnolias, In America, A River Runs Through it and The Secret Life of Words. Give me a call to discuss how this workshop could be adapted for
your event.
