Mental health and relationship challenges can be wild, so I'm excited you're here -because you don't need to navigate this alone. Whether for yourself, family, dependent, or relationship, I am deeply passionate about mental health and certain positive change can occur together. While therapy can seem nebulous, I believe in demystifying the counselling process and don't ever want you wondering if this even works -it does! I use evidence-based best practices and help you develop the tools to address the roots of your concerns/patterns.
I have a direct approach, and at the same time, hope you feel enveloped in warmth and the most genuine care. I believe we can heal and grow best from a place of emotional safety and compassion. I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, relationships, and I welcome untraditional counselling settings. If you prefer to walk and talk or sit outside -let me know!
It would be an absolute privilege to join you in the exploration of what your richest life looks like -and what is holding you back from achieving it. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or to connect. My website is also a great source for more info -check the link on my page.
