COUNSELING SPECIALTY:
The majority of my work is in the area of individual and
couple counseling. Although there are always exceptions and each
situation is unique, I find the following to be frequent themes
that lead people to seek my assistance.
In the area of Individual Therapy or Counseling, these are:
- Changes in emotional or physical health, life stage,
occupation, grief and loss
- Relationship struggles, separation and divorce adjustment
- Personal growth or self-esteem development, stress,
issues from one’s childhood
- Personal and relationship issues for adults with Attention
Deficit Disorder (with or without Hyperactivity)
In the area of Couple and Family Counseling, these are:
- Communication, problem solving, trust and intimacy,
relationship enrichment
- Infidelity and its aftermath
- Pre-marital counseling (often in second marriages)
- Family relations with parents, in-laws and adult children
- Transitions of separation or step parenting
- Challenges from change in occupational status, or physical
or mental health
- Relationship adjustment with conditions such as Attention
Deficit Disorder (with or without Hyperactivity)
In the area of Problematic Use of Gambling, Drugs, Alcohol, Sexual Behaviour, or the Internet, I work with:
- Problem assessment and individual counseling or referral to a structured program if necessary
- Individual, couple or family counseling as part of an
aftercare or follow up plan
- Counseling with adults raised in substance abusing or
gambling homes
In the area of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, these are:
- Individual and couple counseling as indicated above
- Personal and relationship issues arising from adjusting
to this diagnosis
- Joint work with a career and life skills coach with
a specialty in this area
