Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure what steps to take? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and anxious by every day issues? Feeling like you have no where to turn to deal with your challenges? Working together I can support you in finding the right path for you, step by step. In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, we will find the solutions that are meaningful to your life, and help you get where you want to be. I believe that even the smallest changes can have a great impact on mental health and quality of life.
I'm a registered social worker and have spent almost two decades providing emotional support to clients. I believe that we all have the capacity to find our own solutions; sometimes we just need a helping hand getting there. I work with Mindfulness, CBT, ACT and Narrative approaches, tailoring to each individual's needs and experiences.
I support clients from various cultural backgrounds and ethnicities that may be experiencing challenges in adapting to new environments and expectations. I also work extensively with survivors of trauma, and those connected to the LGBTQ2+ community. Please email to set up a free consultation.
