I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, challenges related to sexual health, and perinatal mental health concerns. I believe that each person holds an innate capacity for resilience and growth, and my role is to help you reconnect with that strength.
I offer a non-judgmental, safe space for healing and self-discovery. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates somatic processing with evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
My approach is both compassionate and practical — balancing warmth and understanding with thoughtful strategies that foster real, sustainable change. Healing is not a linear process, and I see counselling as a collaborative journey. My goal is to help you build awareness, self-compassion, and the skills to cope with whatever challenge you are facing.
