CCPA, Brainspotting, ADHD Centre

Hello and Welcome to Best Life Counselling RP.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Mental Health Registered Nurse with over 20 years of mental healthcare experiences. I am committed to providing person-centred, empathetic counselling. My strengths are strong interpersonal skills, reflective self-awareness and cultural competence, rooted in my community-hospital, and social justice experiences. I maintain a Graduate Diploma in Counselling from Athabasca University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ryerson University and a Bachelor of Art Communications from DePauw University.  

With a creative, motivational and mindful practice, I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities and customize treatment plans to meet the unique needs of the individual. My registered psychotherapy approaches are based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. These provides evidence-based techniques to promote client autonomy and well-being to work through life’s challenges. My ongoing professional development is within the field of Neurodevelopment, specific to individuals living with neurodiversity, as I live with inattentive ADHD.

I specialize in the technique of brain spotting (BSP), and am a BSP Practitioner Phase 2 for trauma informed care and performance. I am a Member at Large with the Spirituality in Counselling Chapter (SinCC) with CCPA and practice contemplation with spiritual meditation.  I am a member in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario as well as College of Nurses of Ontario.
