Her practice takes a wellness-focused, integrative approach that treats each person as a whole rather than a set of symptoms.

She works with a wide range of concerns - including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy and sexual concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image issues, parenting and blended family challenges, anger and self-esteem difficulties, career and life transitions, bipolar and mood disorders, and issues affecting LGBT clients.

Known for a genuine, non-judgmental stance, Dr. George emphasizes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and practical strategies to support behavioural change and improved functioning. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative relationship that focuses on clear goals, improved communication, and strengthened coping skills to meet life’s demands.
