Hi, I’m Anne. I offer a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space where your story is heard heart to heart. If you’re feeling low, overwhelmed by life’s demands, stuck in patterns, struggling in relationships, or working through past trauma, I’m here to support you with compassion and professional care.
I am a client-centred therapist with over ten years’ experience locally and internationally. I draw on culturally sensitive, integrative approaches tailored to your needs, working at your pace and focusing on what matters most to you.
Understanding how busy life can be, I offer appointments online after hours, and on weekends to make therapy accessible for those balancing work and other commitments. If you’d like to explore support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
