You do not need to have it all figured out to come here. Maybe you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, deep in grief, or just carrying more than you know how to hold. You might not even know exactly what you need yet...and that's okay! In our work together, we will make space for all of it. Over time, you will notice a growing sense of clarity, more ease in your body and a deeper trust in yourself. All small shifts that open the door to new possibilities.
My approach to counselling is rooted in your own strengths and capacity for growth. By working collaboratively, we will explore what is meaningful to you and move toward the direction you're hoping to grow into, at a pace that feels right for you.
There's room for both acceptance of where you are and hope for what's possible. Let's connect for a 15-minute consultation call to chat more about what you are needing to see if we are a good match!

My time as a hospice volunteer and training as an end-of-life doula has shaped how I show up as a therapist. I'm comfortable sitting with life transitions and the big, messy parts of being human.

In our work together, I draw from mindfulness-based practices and skill-building approaches. More than anything, our sessions are about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
