Modern life offers unique challenges to our children, our relationships, and where we are often last to focus, ourselves. If you are currently overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, neurodiversity, grief, addictive behaviors, anger, or by something you feel guilt or shame about, you are not alone. We all find ourselves struggling at times, even questioning the daily reality and meaning of our lives as men, women, and non-binary people. Shining some light on these topics can be so very helpful. I provide a warm, judgement-free, safe and private space for you to share, to explore yourself, to reflect, and to heal.
I enjoy assisting my clients to uncover, discover, and discard old ideas keeping them from being and living their best lives. I work within a client centered framework and am currently training in TA, a psychodynamic model. My experience is that reflecting on the past can provide clarity and understanding of our very specific challenges.
Can you imagine connecting with that best version of yourself you hold inside? It is possible to discover new parts of yourself, and to experience lasting change. I would love to discuss a counselling path with you. I serve children, youth, and adults. All gender and ethnic identities welcome. Look forward to hearing from you.

You can expect warmth, curiosity, and support in a session with me. I encourage an honest and transparent discussion of your current circumstances.
