"We lose not only through death, but also by leaving and being left, by changing and letting go and moving on....and, then we grow..."

My Services
I am a Registered Professional Social Work Clinician with over 50 years of experience in counselling individuals, families and children.
As a cancer survivor myself for 23 years, I understand and can relate to the recovery process(es) involved with critical illness and loss.
The principles of my practice:
- Specializing in cancer, bereavement (grief) and loss
- Provide personalized counselling to help clients realize that they are their most valuable resource
- Promote the transition from problems to possibilities – a holistic approach integrating mind, body and emotions
- Encourage a collaborative approach in developing solutions
- Believe that healthy mental well-being is a necessity rather than a luxury
- Adopt a solution-oriented, practical, client-focused and caring approach to problem solving
- Place a strong emphasis on self-empowerment and assisting clients in taking charge of their lives as efficiently and quickly as possible
- Although no one can go back and make a brand new start; you can start from now and make a brand new ending
