Have you ever found it challenging to reach out to others and express more fully what"s on your mind, what weighs on your heart? Have you ever felt the need to quit stewing in all these thoughts and feelings, and get them out so that you feel you've got a handle on them, so that you can accept them for what they are and can consider what they offer you moving forward? Have you ever felt that the people around you won't give you the space you need to sort things out in your own way? If so, you may find that the acceptant, non-judgmental, caring atmosphere of counselling that I aim to provide gives you the chance to do these things.
I help people struggling with stress and anxiety to recover their sense of agency. I help put your own process of thinking, feeling, and experiencing at the centre of our work together. I prioritize your perspective, and I value and respect the personal meanings that you attribute to your experiences. In so doing, I work with you to find your own solutions
I understand that it takes great courage to risk trusting a person with what is most precious, tender, and vulnerable in us, our inner world of meaning. In reaching out to me, as with any counsellor, you would be taking a leap of faith. I hope to honour your courage by treading softly if you so choose to confide in me with your personal experiences.

I work with clients who may be struggling with adjusting to transitions and changes in their life, work, and relationships; clients who lack the social support to talk through these challenges and express the concerns that matter to them. During our sessions, the client directs the process and begins to experience a greater sense of autonomy as they clarify conflicts and choices for themselves.

I primarily use Person-Centered Counselling in my practice. I aim to provide a free and permissive environment for the self-directed exploration of feelings, attitudes, and impulses basic to your issues of concern. I focus on responding with reflections of aspects of your experience as you express them during the therapeutic process, helping facilitate your self-acceptance and self-understanding.
