Welcome, and thank you for taking this brave step toward healing. My practice is rooted in helping you rebuild confidence, reclaim agency, and move toward self-actualization in ways that align with your values. It can be difficult to see a clear path from where you are to where you want to be—especially when you’ve been shaped by coercion, abuse, or burnout. I believe real change grows from honest, grounded moments—not from dramatic shifts, but from steady, compassionate steps.

I provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to help you process painful emotions, name what matters most, and take small, meaningful steps forward.

I care deeply about your agency and will encourage you to exercise it through empathy, coregulation, and authentic nonjudgment. My treatment plan is rooted in an open, trusting counsellor-client relationship. Education allows me to help you interpret what you need. I incorporate Phil Stutz' 'Tools' with ACT to give you strategies to use while working towards your larger goals.
