Hi, do you feel misunderstood, disappointed or just unsure how to navigate life at times? I’m a counsellor who believes that every individual has the power within to create meaningful change in their lives. Through genuine connection I am passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My practice welcomes individuals from all walks of life, communities and cultures, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with disabilities, youth, men, women, and those seeking faith-filled counselling.
My approach is grounded in empathy, partnership, and therapeutic techniques, carefully tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. In our sessions, you’ll find a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can freely share your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll explore your concerns at a pace that feels comfortable and right for you.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe space where you can share your story and feel truly heard. Together, we’ll work through any challenges, uncover your strengths, and find a way forward that feels right for you. If you're ready to take the first step toward positive change, I’m here to support you.
