As a tradesperson who's walked the path of recovery and reinvention, I understand facing challenges that impact every aspect of our lives and relationships. My clients, whether in suits or work boots, find someone who speaks their language. I don't just offer therapy; I bring professional training and lived experience. My toolkit? Integrated Wellness and Life Skills Counselling – the same fundamentals that turned my life around. Here, real talk leads to real change.
I specialize in Life Skills and Wellness Counselling. This approach integrates counselling and coaching techniques that provide straightforward, actionable strategies. I focus on aiding individuals facing life transitions, mental health challenges, recovery & sobriety, and providing a supportive space for personal growth and change.
The first step towards change is the most important one. When you're dealing with personal hurdles, recovery & sobriety, or seeking a path to better well-being, I'm here for you. Let's find you the tools and insights you need for a more balanced and fulfilling life. When you are ready to start, I'm here to help.
