My counselling approach is person-centered and holistic.
Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Worried about your work or relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? Finding yourself avoiding or procrastinating on things that are important to you? Life is incredibly difficult at times, and we often feel alone in our suffering. You don't have to get through it on your own. In counselling, when we feel safe and understood, we can connect to our natural ability to heal and thrive. I work with my clients to help them to deeply explore and make sense of their struggles, uncover their inner wisdom and resilience, and become their best, most authentic selves.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.
