Designations

I have completed a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology with Distinction and hold the designations of Counselling Therapist (#2659) with The Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta and Canadian Certified Counsellor (#10005245) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Through my extensive training in the areas of trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and complex post-traumatic sterss disorder (CPTSD), I have obtained the designation of Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II).

The Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association states on their website that "the Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation is a "national service that identifies to the public those counsellors who CCPA recognizes as qualified to provide counselling services in unregulated provinces in Canada. Obtaining the status of Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) includes recognition of standards of professional preparation, continuing education, and a formal code of ethics". As a result, I am able to provide virtual counselling to clients residing in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.

Please note: As a Counselling Therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor, my role is to support your mental health and well-being through therapeutic interventions. However, diagnosing mental health disorders is outside the scope of my practice. If a formal diagnosis is needed, I can refer you to a healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, who is qualified to make a diagnosis.
