I am passionate about supporting children and adolescents in developing effective ways of managing their emotions and thoughts, and in turn, their behaviours. Along with learning therapeutic self-regulation skills, clients learn more about their internal processes and why they can have the feelings and thoughts they do. This helps reinforce the theory and motivations behind self-regulation skills, and how they can help each client with their own unique difficulties and strengths!

Have you ever been kept up late at night reliving distressing memories? Does your mind chatter and strong emotions interfere with your day-to-day? Are you looking to understand yourself more and make some changes? If your answer is "yes", then we should talk.

If you're waking up at 3:00 AM with a racing mind, or feeling the heavy weight of anxiety and burnout during the day, you are not alone. My ideal clients are adults (16+) who feel stuck in a cycle of exhaustion—whether from chronic insomnia, persistent worry, or the lingering effects of past trauma. You may feel disconnected or caught in unhelpful patterns that leave you overwhelmed. You want to feel capable, rested, and able to navigate your emotions with confidence, rather than being overwhelmed by them. I can help meaningfully process your experiences and build the resilience you need to create the life you want

Life can be tough, but you don’t have to face it alone. Counselling can help you navigate your way back to feeling better about life. I’m a compassionate counsellor with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can be—whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, or any other personal issues.
