Do you feel burnt out, exhausted and overwhelmed? Do you feel guilt and shame because you feel as if you can’t keep up with the expectations put on you? I can help you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, set boundaries with people and learn how to get in touch with your own innate aliveness. I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, OCD, depression, and chronic stress. I have a warm and compassionate approach to counselling, and I am passionate about using practices that demonstrate, clarity, understanding, kindness, and growth.
A bit about how I practice - I consider myself a guide rather than an expert. As well, I consider myself a feminist counsellor which means I can help create opportunities in our sessions to examine how power shapes different areas of your life. I am passionate about integrating empowerment and consciousness raising into my therapeutic work.
I am here with you, a safe space to share and experience unconditional friendliness. Together, we can discover what it means to compassionately hold the realities of your suffering while recognizing that this unintegrated pain can be a powerful catalyst for profound healing and transformation in your life.
