By searching for a counsellor, you are already taking an important step in improving your mental health and I can support you in continuing that journey.

At its core, my therapeutic approach is centered around collaboration, drawing from anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and client-centered frameworks, while highlighting the unique lived experiences each client holds. I work with individuals who may be struggling with experiences of anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, and more. I have a background of supporting and working with neurodivergent individuals and continue to do so in my practice.

Are you craving a safe space where you can start learning more about yourself and your patterns? Do you find that the same challenges often come up in your life but you aren't sure how to move through them? This is very often what people describe when first coming to therapy. I firmly believe that our adult patterns are the direct result of painful or overwhelming experiences that we had as children. By making connections between the past and the present, we learn how to meaningfully change our lives.

The better we feel about ourselves because we are practising great lifestyle habits and relating meaningfully, soulfully, the more in the 'zone' we feel day to day.
