About Wind Rose Counselling
Wind Rose Counselling is an individual and relationship counselling service offered online or in person located in Airdrie, AB.
My approach to you starts with establishing a an environment of safety and trust; a place of curiosity and exploration where your burdens may be lightened. I am skilled at gently providing support and practical feedback; to help you effectively address personal life challenges you are committed to conquering.
I completed my graduate training at the University of Calgary and am a Registered Clinical Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers, and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals. I have vast experience from working in a variety of clinical settings throughout Southern Alberta treating mental health, addictions, and relationship issues.
I'm no stranger to the twists and turns of life, and describe myself as an interactive, strengths based therapist. I pride myself in knowing I do not ask clients I work with to do anything I haven't or wouldn't do in my own work. I draw upon a solid foundation of evidence based treatment modalities combined with personal experience, and clinical wisdom. Approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman Couples Therapy, and the Carnes Task Mased Model of addiction treatment, to offer highly personalized services to each client. I am also trained in the use of Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a breakthrough evidence based approach for the treatment of trauma and related mental health issues.
I have been married to my wonderful wife since 2001, and together we love spending time with our 4 children. I love playing and watching sports, singing and playing the guitar in a garage band, riding motorcycles, time with friends, and learning.
