Do you ever feel like you’re carrying too much? Stressed, burnt out, or always putting your own needs last? If so, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with come to counselling feeling exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we create a space where you can set those burdens down and feel truly heard.
With 15 years of experience in corporate human resources before becoming a counsellor, I understand the pressures of performance, the impact of life transitions, and how easily self-care can slip away. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress, burnout, and relationship challenges.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to you. I will meet you where you are and help you uncover new ways of coping, healing, and reconnecting with yourself. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, you just have to take the first step. If you’re curious, let’s connect for a consultation and see if this feels like the right fit for you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with various concerns such as anxiety, burnout and grief. During initial sessions, we will explore your main pain points and how they are impacting your life. Then, we will co-create coping strategies that are tailored to your unique situation. My goal from day 1 is to help you feel empowered to handle life's stressors with a "tool box" of strategies.

I use a Person-Centered approach. In the first session, we'll unpack what brings you to therapy and then create goals to work on. You can expect a combination of learning about new strategies to cope as well as exploration of your past. During treatment, we'll check in regularly to ensure you're getting what you need from our sessions.
