I offer both a holistic and personalized approach meeting different individual needs. I understand and respect different aspects that may contribute to one’s mental health and life challenges.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

I practice holistic counselling through a client-centered lens, considering all aspects of individuality. I strive to work closely with my clients to foster growth through self-acceptance.

I have experience working with diverse populations in an individual and group capacity. I aspire to aid in empowering my clients to work towards self-actualization in a safe, compassionate and judgement-free environment.
