I work with individuals and couples. I also offer supervision to counsellors registering with the NSCCT. If you decide to connect with me, I will work to build a strong counselling relationship and support you in making changes in your life. My approach starts from the perspective that people are made up of three parts: body, mind and emotional self. These parts interact with one another and together create our lived experience. I work in a comprehensive way that considers the functionality in each of these areas to move towards integration, health, freedom and agency.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck. This can show up in their relationships, work, daily life, or even in their own thoughts. My goal is to help you get “un-stuck”. I work with individuals to sort through what’s holding them back in life and build new habits.

I recall going to my first therapy session when I was young, and it was a challenging experience! Now, as a therapist, I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with clients by establishing a comfortable environment, and exploring things from a holistic lens that meets you as a person instead of a problem. A relaxed, client-focused approach is ideal for those who may feel apprehensive about the therapeutic process, and we can collaboratively tailor treatment plans to align with your strengths and needs.
