Struggling with stress, low mood, anxiety, or grief can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. If something doesn't feel quite right, it can be liberating to reach out to someone to help you clarify what you're experiencing. Feeling understood and supported while learning new skills can help us take steps in new directions. If you're here, you are already doing the work!

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you get to know your inner world: including your thoughts, feelings, patterns, and nervous system. It is from this place of safety and connection that we can create a plan to help you achieve what is most important to you. I utilize a variety of strength-based approaches to guide our work together.

I know choosing a counsellor can be intimidating, and it's important that you feel like it's a good fit. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a free, informal phone or virtual meeting to see if we're a match. Wishing you all the best!

I gravitate towards strengths-based therapeutic approaches, but I truly believe successful approaches are always catered to one's experiences, personality, and ways of understanding the world. During our first session we will explore what brought you to counselling. From there, we will collaboratively decide on the most appropriate ways to help you work toward your goals.
