I help clients facing addiction, trauma, or emotional dysregulation by providing a safe, supportive space for healing. Together, we work on breaking destructive patterns, building emotional resilience, and fostering personal growth. My approach helps clients find balance, heal past wounds, and create lasting positive change in their lives. I use a blend of solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed person centred counselling, and meditation techniques to address each persons unique needs. There is no one size fits all to healing, together we can tailor your treatment and help you attain a different perspective on life.
I’m here to support you in finding your own answers, at your own pace—there’s no time limit on this journey. Therapy is a gift, and while I offer a sliding scale for those who can afford it, please don’t let cost deter you from reaching out. We can discuss fees together during the consultation.
Having personally experienced and overcome the challenges of addiction, I understand the complexity of recovery and the importance of tailored support. My approach blends solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and meditation techniques, ensuring each session is adaptable to your unique needs.
