Options for longer-term support are also available. Counselling begins with an initial consultation. The purpose of these 50-minute introductory sessions is to identify an approach that will provide you with the greatest possible benefit in the shortest period of time.

I use a wide range of modalities depending on the needs, uniqueness and preferences of each person. My therapy training includes Existential-Integrative psychotherapy which emphasizes the search for authenticity, meaning and wholeness in our lives.

To experience being fully alive, we can't simply accept a destiny that other people or our culture want for us. We have to write our own story and walk our own path.

We will seek to find the depth of your hidden potential and quiet the voices of self-doubt so you can ride the waves of human experience with grace and purpose.
