We all feel stuck from time to time. It is my goal to help people gain clarity, relate better to those around them and heal from trauma. Whether you are looking for some tools to help you cope or to go in depth to figure out why you feel like you're going around in circles I can help you meet those goals.
My office for online meetings.
I have helped clients through a variety of concerns, but I specialize in couples counselling, anxiety and trauma.
I know reaching out for help can be hard to do. I am here to meet you as you are and walk with you in this process at your pace. I hope I have the honour of meeting you in the near future and get the pleasure of working with you.

As a counselling therapist I work with a variety of clients. In my practice I specialize in 3 main areas: anxiety, relationship issues and addiction to pornography. During our initial sessions we discuss the obstacles you are facing; things that are getting in the way of your sense of peace. I will support you as you move through those things towards a better quality of life and sense of self.
