I offer therapy sessions in-person, or online via video.
Years ago whilst dealing with some health issues that affected me both mentally and physically a mentor/counsellor told me to “change my thoughts, in order to change my world. Because my present circumstances at the time did not determine were I go, but where I started." Hence, I do understand how mental and physical struggles can impact one's life and that admitting to those struggles and asking for help is never easy. I am here to walk alongside you on the journey to healing and restoration.

Whether you prefer in-person or online, I offer various availability to accommodate busy schedules.
Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

We all face hurdles in life, and I believe individuals possess an inner wisdom that can help overcome these obstacles. I strive to create a setting where therapy can be fun and empowering as we work together to discover this inner wisdom. My goal is to foster a judgement free environment, enhancing opportunities to reflect, be heard, and develop skills to achieve confidence extending beyond the therapeutic setting. I believe our body gives us cues that as we learn to tune into can encourage us to understand, process and cope with our emotions - this can support one to navigate both concerns and resources with a renewed capacity.
