We all know how difficult it can be to start something new. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or not, it’s quite normal to feel a range of different emotions. With this said, sometimes leaning into the process and stepping out of your comfort zone can bring a sense of relief and broaden your perspective on what’s possible. At times, we can feel as if we are walking life’s path alone, but that doesn’t mean we have to. Therapy provides that additional support and guidance to uncover barriers, facilitate options, and choose a value driven direction in life.

For over a decade in schools and private practice, I’ve walked alongside children, adolescents, and young adults, as well as parents, families, and educators, through life’s toughest hurdles. Whether it’s the tearful eight‑year‑old wrestling with separation anxiety, the teen weighed down by social pressures, the young adult navigating their first workplace relationship, or the parent and teacher seeking harmony in a child’s learning journey, I’m here to help you find clarity, calm, and confidence. My style is warm, culturally attuned, and always focused on helping you move forward with confidence.

You and your relationships matter—those with intimate partners, family, and close friends! When you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, loneliness, or other emotional pain, your well-being and that of those around you can be affected. You deserve a safe nurturing space to explore and address your feelings. Counselling helps you heal, gain insights, and develop strategies to manage your emotions and unhelpful behaviours. If overwhelming emotions are affecting your connections, seeking joint, couples, or family counselling can improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your bond. Adults and teens welcome in-person or online.

My clinical background is in Psychodynamic psychotherapy with emphasis on Attachment theory and human development across the life span. Having an in-depth understanding of how our early beginnings impact our view of self, life, and relationships, assists me to support my clients toward developing empathy and compassion for themselves and others. I believe this can be an integral factor in the healing process and in attaining a sense of personal freedom.

Counselling is an opportunity for you to tell your story to someone who is objective, non-judgemental and empathetic. A counsellor will give you unconditional positive regard and it is a completely confidential process. ​ Talking through your thoughts and feelings can provide clarity about what’s going on – there’s something about hearing yourself say these things out loud that releases the heaviness of what you have been carrying. ​
