Are you hoping to make a change in your life? Are you going through a transition or challenge that is asking more of you than you feel equipped to handle? Are you having a hard time in one or more of your relationships? It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support. It is my hope that we can work together to make this period of change or tension just a little bit easier.
I have been providing counselling support in post-secondary environments for five years. I draw on existential, feminist, humanistic, structural, and anti-oppressive approaches. Prior to counselling, I worked in various social work roles in education, community services, and homecare settings.
As an integrative therapist, my hope is to learn about what works best for you and to work together to facilitate the change you are seeking. Counselling fit is important, so I am happy to connect for a conversation over the phone or to respond to any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you!
