Therapists Beginning With W in Newfoundland and Labrador

Asking for help may be difficult. Counselling is a step in taking care of yourself and dealing with concerns in your life. I am a registered Social Worker and have been practicing 31 years. I have extensive clinical experience in health care and mental health. I have been fortunate to work with diverse populations of various ages and therapeutic needs.

Life can challenge us in many ways. For example, the death of a loved one, peer pressure, relationship concerns or learning difficulties. In my practice I work collaboratively with my clients to help them develop skills to cope and adapt with the uncertainty that life can bring.

I try to create a welcoming, comfortable space where you can address the concerns that brought you to therapy. I believe that you already have what you need to get to where you want to be; I may just give you the perspective, the time, and the space you need to see it, and together we will find a path forward.

Life can be challenging, and feeling alone is normal. You may be experiencing stress and anxiety or want to make a change or set a new goal. You may be trying to untangle issues in your life. I'm here to support and help you with a healthy dose of humour along the way. If you're ready to make a change on a journey of self-discovery, let's work together to uncover your strengths and empower you to live your best life! Whether you are looking to find love and build a fulfilling relationship. Or grappling with questions of identity, or issues with communication dynamics within your family. I am here to offer validation, and guidance.

Those who spend any time near the ocean know the unpredictability of its waters; the waves can be smooth and calming or rocky and uncertain. Wave Counselling & Wellness has been built on the passion for water, even as unpredictable and uncomfortable as it can be. This passion trickles over into our work by helping others ride the waves of their own lives.

With a background in Education and Social Work, I am honoured to have the opportunity build a connection with the children, teens and young adults I work with. Reaching out and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is such a difficult thing to do. My goal is to focus on the importance of connection in order to build a strong therapeutic rapport. Having a strong connection, feeling seen, heard and validated are important parts of my practice. This allows me to work alongside the people who enter my office, to build on their current strengths and to incorporate new skills in order to navigate their daily lives effectively

As a social worker for nearly 15 years, I have had the privilege to work alongside children, adolescents and their families in both government and community settings. Through this work, I have learned the significance of relationship and connection and hold these values closely. I practice from a trauma informed, strengths based approach and am passionate about supporting children and their families. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional relation, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationship struggles and parenting challenges.
