Counselling sessions will be co–created with you and tailored to your needs. I offer you a healing experience that is sensitive to your strengths as well as your pain. Entering into counselling is an act of courage as it takes commitment to create a healthy life and to integrate difficult experiences. I am trained in a variety of modalities such as, somatic therapies, a variety of talk therapy strategies and hypnotherapy.
My eclectic approach provides valuable tools to handle many challenges: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, life transitions, grief and loss, workplace distress, relationships, pre and perinatal issues, parenting, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, abuse ( emotional, physical, and sexual)
