I support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or those who simply want to feel better. Being listened to, without judgment or agenda, can help us express the parts of us that we keep hidden from others, and sometimes even ourselves. Using evidence-based approaches of mindfulness, self-compassion, ACT, emotionally focused, and person-centered therapies, I can support you to gain more self awareness and cultivate an increased level of self-support. We all want to feel better, we all want someone on our side. I'm here to help.
My approach to counselling lies on the foundation that healing and change happens as you safely move toward yourself in a non-judgmental and curious way. When we learn to be more compassionate and hold our experiences with kindness over judgement, we naturally increase our capacity for making connections and moving toward what serves us.
If you're looking for a compassionate, calm, and thoughtful counsellor, then we may be a good fit to work together. If you're ready to move forward on your journey, I'm here to help. Feel free to call, email, or browse my website to learn more about what working with me might be like.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches including mindfulness-based, cognitive, and polyvagal theories. My work is client-centered, trauma-informed and attachment-based, meaning that I hold space for what comes up in the moment, and the powerful healing effect that a safe and secure therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor can offer.
