Family Counselling Services in Kingston, ON.

Having objective guidance from an experienced social worker can be very helpful to get through problems in families. Gaining awareness of our own personal and family dynamics is crucial in order to make healthy changes. All families can eventually be faced with extremely stressful circumstances including parenting issues, dealing with special needs and serious illness, separation and divorce with custody-access issues and death and loss. As a mental health professional, I have helped many clients face this issues over the years and I have specialized training to help you deal with these issues.

Family dynamics are complicated.
