Have you ever felt like talking to someone supportive and impartial about what you are feeling or issues you are facing? You are not alone even though it often feels that way. We are hardwired for connection, so when those bonds are challenged or broken in childhood or adulthood, the pain is real because this affects how we see ourselves and the world around us. This can create anxiety, depression and self-worth issues. Some examples of clients I often see are neurodiverse clients with autism, ADHD, OCD, and/or dyslexia, couples/individuals with relationship struggles, grief, burnout and stress.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Suicide Intervention, Motivational interviewing and Gottman Couples Therapy. I have additional trainings in ASD, ADHD and learning disorders. I rely heavily on research and psychoeducation for self-empowerment.
My promise is to provide a private, safe space for you with an empathic, supportive approach. I pride myself on being compassionate as I guide you through the counselling process to help you discover for yourself how to feel better and improve your life. Your counselling plan will be tailored towards your needs as I draw from a variety of therapies. .

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Treatment approaches depend on your needs. After our initial session, we would decide what approach to use. Most often Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is chosen to address how your thoughts, emotions and behaviours effect your issue or mental health. I provide education and tools to empower self-advocacy and to foster self-compassion.
