I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating challenges, transitions, questions about identity, relationships, or simply a sense that something in life feels out of alignment. Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in familiar patterns, or uncertain about what comes next. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer both virtual and in-person sessions.
My work is grounded in attachment, emotional awareness, and genuine connection. I'm curious about the patterns and experiences that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I draw from CBT, narrative therapy, IFS-informed parts work, somatic awareness, and emotion-focused approaches, adapting therapy to each person's needs, strengths, and goals.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to counselling; I'll often check in about what's working and what isn't. My hope is to offer a space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and feel genuinely heard. Reaching out can feel vulnerable, especially when you've been carrying things on your own for a long time, and I believe that takes real courage.

I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to counselling. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and adapt them to each person's unique circumstances, strengths, and goals. Some sessions may focus on understanding patterns and relationships, while others may be more practical and skill-based to create a genuine, grounded, and collaborative space.
