I am passionate about creating meaningful connections and providing holistic therapeutic support that honors each individual’s unique journey. My approach is grounded in compassionate, strength-based counselling support for individuals, couples, and groups navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, anger, neurodivergence, and more. As a neurodivergent therapist with over 25 years’ diverse experience, I strive to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel seen and accepted. My approach integrates a variety of modalities including mindfulness, DBT, and person-centered care to support healing, growth, and self-empowerment.
I offer a personalized, compassionate approach for individuals of all ages and couples, supporting clients with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, neurodivergence, and mental health concerns. I use a variety of modalities tailored to the individual to help clients feel supported, understood and empowered to grow authentically.
Starting therapy can be overwhelming, but you are not alone! I offer a safe, comfortable, compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported- no judgement- just care. Whether you're facing a challenge or seeking to understand yourself better, I am here to walk alongside you. Let's take the next step together to live a life of ease, joy and comfort.
