Online Counselling for L6H

Are you grappling with anxiety, depression, or the weight of unresolved trauma or grief? Do you feel stuck in patterns that hinder your relationships, work, or daily life? Many individuals today face these struggles, often feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate life's challenges. I believe that, within ourselves, we have all the resources we need to overcome our challenges and live a full, meaningful, and satisfying life. Sometimes, we just need a little guidance to tap into them. As a fully Registered Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, I feel confident I can support you in your journey.

Perhaps you identify as being "highly sensitive". Maybe you're feeling anxious, or depressed, or have a sense of unworthiness. You may be having difficulty managing stress. Therapy is an opportunity to work with an understanding guide, who creates a safe, supportive and collaborative environment in the face of these challenges. Being that guide is my passion. I will help you expand your "toolkit", while developing self-understanding, self-compassion, and connection to your own values, strengths, and wisdom. “Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.” - Tara Brach
