Depression

Marital problems
Parenting challenges

Anger

Through counselling, you can identify what is most important to you and align your thoughts, words, and actions accordingly. As your counsellor and coach, I will work with you to identify what you want and need personally and professionally, and support you in achieving your counselling goals.

Leverage U Areas of Specialization:

Anger Solutions

We provide Anger Solutions counselling for adults, teens (aged 13-17), and children (aged 9-12). We accept referrals from individuals, physicians, rehabilitation professionals, and from probation and parole. Group sessions are also available.

Recovery from Motor Vehicle Accidents

We help people overcome the shock and trauma associated with motor vehicle accidents. Pain, post-traumatic stress, depression/low-motivation, sleep disruptions, driver or passenger anxiety are all common symptoms that may appear following an MVA; sometimes they do not appear for several weeks or even months after the accident. We will work with your rehabilitation team, lawyers, physicians, and insurers to help you achieve optimal functioning as soon as possible so you can get back to living your life.

Our Counselling Philosophy

The Leverage U approach to counselling is consistent with our core values. Our goal is to create radical, positive, lasting change, and so we apply counselling approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy. Our approach is action-oriented and (as much as possible) focuses primarily on the present and future. As your counsellor I will encourage you to determine your own "answers" through the work done in our therapeutic partnership. I believe in accountability and in keeping with that belief, my counselling practice is supervised by a Clinical Psychologist, and I am a member in good standing with the Canadian Psychological Association and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Anger Solutions Produces Change

"What I learned in this course is immeasurable. Even though I made unwittingly attempts at going off topic your ability to stay focused and maintain order was impeccable. I have learned first and foremost how my verbal outbursts of anger affect those around me. Your teachings have taught me to think before I speak; understand the damage and hurt I can cause; and it has helped me to step back, collect my thoughts and ponder what could transpire should I not utilize what you've taught me. If I remain a TNT concerning anger, your teachings would be in vain. I have a choice how I respond, and handle all matters, remembering to lead by example. I could not put a monetary value on what I learned."
Steve P., Group Participant, St. Catharines, Ontario

“I wish I could have found you 20 years ago. My life would have been totally different. My kids’ lives would have been different. (My daughter) is picking up my new anger solution skills. She will not have to live the way I have! Thank you!”

“You are like Oprah for the office.”
K. Hale – Degersheim, Switzerland

From marital separation, limited supervised visits with my young child, unemployment, and poor job maintenance skills to marital reconciliation, full time employment and new problem solving abilities for workplace challenges... Tele-coaching with the Anger Solutions program once again proved its worth in my life.
