Welcome. I’m happy you’re here. Have you been struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Have you been feeling lost or frustrated and unsure how to proceed?. Do you want to learn how to more compassionately understand yourself, to identify the source of your challenges, and work together to find effective ways to reduce your distress so that you can live your life in a way that aligns with your values and goals? If so, I would be honoured to accompany you on the journey. I provide virtual (on-line or phone) therapy in Ontario, within the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Empathy and compassion are central to my practice. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, social anxiety, major life transitions and trauma. I believe in a client-centred, collaborative approach to counselling, meeting clients where they are at and supporting them in reaching their goals.,
We all have times in our lives when it can be difficult to understand, or cope with, distress about how we see ourselves, certain relationships, or situations. I use a trauma-informed perspective, and will provide a safe space to support you as we work together to understand the root of issues and employ effective interventions to address them.
