Life is full of unexpected turns and surprises. Life transitions, growth, and goals are important parts of life. I enjoy supporting clients with these expected and unexpected life changes. I employ a person-centred focus to support clients in finding their way forward and achieve their goals or work through other challenges, such as grief and loss.
Currently, I am offering virtual sessions only, with the possibility of in-person sessions in the future. I understand the financial challenges of accessing mental health support and offer a sliding scale for those in need.
As a healthcare provider of 30 years, I bring empathy, compassion, and understanding in a nonjudgemental way into every therapeutic relationship. As a mental health therapist, I journey with my clients through their therapy. A complimentary 15 minute telephone or video call is available to aid in determining if this is a good fit for you.
