Welcome to Richmond Counselling Services!
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to explore what might be holding you back from living the life you truly want. Sometimes, life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about our path forward. Together, we’ll work to reconnect you with your strengths and empower you to move toward your best self. I have specialized training and expertise in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, sleep disturbances, relationship concerns, stress management and workplace stressors.
My practice draws on evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. These include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
Together, we will explore your personal challenges, identify meaningful goals, and create sustainable changes that contribute to a fulfilling life. I offer a safe, supportive environment where dignity, trust, and growth are nurtured through compassionate, evidence-based care. Let’s work together to help you rediscover your path forward.
