I love helping people embrace their most authentic selves!

Pursuing counselling may be a significant undertaking for some and therefore, it is imperative to establish an environment that is healing, safe and non-judgemental. I view counselling as a collaborative process, centred on an exploration of feelings and thoughts.

My responsibilities are to ensure that I stand alongside you, go through this journey with you and work towards producing a positive ripple effect, as we carefully rebuild each and every single facet of your life.

We all tell ourselves stories about who we are and how we fit into the world. Sometimes, these ways we have of talking to ourselves can become problematic and affect our internal wellbeing, anxiety, relationships, and emotional health.

I am also uniquely invested in working with teens and young adults. My focus is in the areas of identity formation and trauma recovery including sexual, religious, childhood, and physical traumas.
