We are facing a time of intense political and economic uncertainty. Many of us have concerns about affordability and the environment. These issues can contribute to feelings of anxiety, despair, and helplessness. What’s going on in the world understandably has an impact on you, and you may want extra support in navigating these challenging times. I have worked as a counsellor for 15 years, including more than 12 years in government and non-profit organizations. In my years of working with people, I have come to believe that people and their problems make sense. I can help you understand your struggles, your emotions, and yourself.
You’re probably here because you’re struggling personally or in your relationship. Life can be so messy and hard. Counselling can help. There is hope. You may be struggling, but you are not broken. I aim to understand you holistically within the layers of your experience and your complex life. I strive to listen deeply, to be genuine, and to really see you.
I fundamentally believe we are all doing our best with what we’ve got right now. And sometimes we need extra support from someone, like a counsellor. I would love to help you find relief, connect with what matters to you, and experience greater fulfillment in your life. With warmth, compassion, and curiosity, I will walk with you on this journey of change.
