Background Information:
Subsequent to 25 years in finance as a loan, mortgage, and collection officer and manager, I commenced a degree at Trent University, Peterborough. After receiving a BA in Psychology (2000) an MEd at the University of Toronto (2004)... during which time I was fortunate to secure a practicum in the Psychology department at Millbrook Correctional Institution... In 2004 I received certification through the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association and further accreditation as a Master of Hypnotherapy (2011) and most recently the designation of Registered Psychotherapist (RP) in 2015.
My extensive background in finance in tandem with my understanding of psychology, offers me a unique perspective on 'how we look at, think about, and relate to money. It could be suggested that even in our everyday financial management, it is not in changing our budget but in changing our mind, that we find success.
Based on a clear understanding of the concerns, traumas, grief/loss, financial and emotional stressors that plague our everyday lives I employ "best Practices" and a positive working relationship to secure you best outcome.
