Cindy's Story
Canadian Certified Counsellor
I have wanted to work in mental health for as long as I can remember. I have always loved to hear people's stories and think that it is a great privilege when people choose to share with me and allow me to support them in their journey.
In 2005 my family went through many unexpected changes in our lives. During this time, I realized that mental health is a precious balancing act between the resources and supports we have for coping versus the challenges we are experiencing. When life provides more challenges than resources for coping, I am happy to provide trauma-informed and evidence-based treatments that build on existing strengths.
