Reaching out for help can be scary, so I am glad you are taking the first step. We all face times in our life where things seem overwhelming, stressful or hopeless. Whether you are feeling that way because of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, bullying or parenting challenges, I am here to help. With over 7 years of experience working with individuals with developmental, intellectual and learning disabilities, I know everyone moves at their own pace and that is okay! If you are facing problems that seem too big to handle on your own, we can work together to find solutions that work for you.
Using a trauma-informed, strengths based and client centred approach, we will work to address what is happening in your life and how you can make the changes you feel are necessary. Every client comes to therapy as the expert of their own experiences, my role is to provide insight and a non-judgemental and supportive space for you to grow and succeed.
Navigating mental health resources can be really challenging, but you've taken the first step. Sometimes we all need a little guidance to get us back on track. If you're feeling lost, let's get connected and chat about what it is you're looking for. I offer free 15 minute consults to figure out if we might be a good match.
