If you are someone who feels like you can’t think yourself out of your anxiety, or you feel like you can’t trust your inner compass, I am here to support you in exploring your paths, as well as tuning into yourself and the wisdom of your body.
I have been working in client-focused fields with various populations for over 15 years and and I am deeply passionate and curious about people’s innate capacity to heal and change. It takes courage to want change and to seek out someone that can help. I am here to provide a safe space, authenticity, connection and lots of room for vulnerability.
Taking a step towards counselling can be uncomfortable and sometimes feel a little bit scary, and you might have a few questions before meeting for a full session. Feel free to reach out for a consultation and I look forward to meeting you soon!

I work with clients who may be struggling with relationship issues, suffering from anxiety, depression, or any physical symptoms that might have been caused by a traumatic event. I am very interested in how experiences from childhood can shape behaviors, emotions and sense of self-worth in adulthood. I am a person centered therapist so we will collaborate on what you'd like to work on.

Beyond the modalities I am trained and interested in, what is most important is for us to build a solid counselling relationship, and to give my clients a sense of empowerment, autonomy and the felt sense of being seen, as well as a sense of well-being. I believe every client has an innate capacity to heal and everyone needs a unique and personalized, person-centered approach.
