Do you struggle with parenting issues, past trauma resulting in anxiety, depression, grief, or challenging relationships that affect your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, work, and career? Do you feel overwhelmed by the weight of these issues in life and have nowhere to turn to? Do you wonder if there is light at the end of the tunnel? Now more than ever, people are anxious about their struggles and uncertainties about their present and future. I believe there is hope and answers and you do not need to struggle alone. You can take the first step by contacting me.
I have an MA in counselling and a certificate in trauma. I am also a Certified Positive Discipline Educator. I am compassionate and have a wealth of life experience enhanced by years of working in the healthcare field. My special interests are parenting, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, premarital, and prevention education.
Approaching anyone with mental health issues can be intimidating. Once you have a chance to talk to the person before making the decision, it reduces the apprehension and you can check if this person seems to connect with you well. That is why I provide a 15 minutes free consultation for you to reach out to me with issues that make you stuck in your life.

Groups
Positive Discipline groups
I offer 12 hours Positive Discipline Parent/Teacher/Childcare Worker workshops when the number of registrants is 12. The workshops can be in person in your place of meeting or online. Positive Discipline way of training children eliminates need of shaming, blaming, inflicting pain, punishing, rewarding, or providing unreal praise which all are known to bring only short-term positive effects and long-term negative effects on the personality of children. Positive Discipline effects are long-term to mould the children into productive and coperative adults.
