People seek counseling when life feels overwhelming, uncertain or isolating. You might feel undervalued in relationships, or weighed down by stress and anxiety. Perhaps you’re facing a recent ADHD/ASD diagnosis in yourself or a loved one. Life may have thrown you a big decision, or you’re struggling to balance work, family, or cope with grief. It’s easy to feel exhausted, unsure how to ask for help, or worried about burdening others. These are normal feelings, but when they become part of your daily life, it’s time to reach out for support. Counseling can provide a safe space to find balance and relief.
I Primarily work from what’s known as a “talk therapy” approach. That might look like asking questions that will help you gain insight into your struggles, exploring your personal values, and sharing strategies and tools that you can apply right away to help you experience relief from your symptoms.
I integrate elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive and Behavioural approaches . Some people may use their counselling time to work on a specific goal, while some may value counselling as a time to discuss specific challenges

Together, we will identify your goals for counseling. For many, sharing your experiences with a trained professional can significantly alleviate emotional intensity. A counselor can help untangle the complexities of your feelings. For others, a more direct approach may be necessary, focusing on solutions and outlining actionable steps to achieve your goals.
