I work a lot with people who've never seen a counsellor before. I'm interested in who you are now, where you want to be, and work with you to get there. I live in a rural area, have lots of experience working with the rainbow and neurodivergent communities, and strive to build a trusting, supportive relationship with clients where we can get to the heart of your situation. I can help you find your strengths, collaborate on strategies that work for you, and listen when you need someone to really hear your story.
I have extensive experience working with adults and adolescents both in-person and online. I offer both short-term solutions-focused therapy and longer-term support for trauma, anxiety, understanding identity and change, grief and relationship issues. I am passionate about making counselling as accessible and engaging as possible.
If you're looking for a warm, friendly, supportive counsellor who runs it straight and isn't afraid to deal with the difficult stuff, then get in touch!

I work with clients who are experiencing change in their life, or feel ready to make changes. We start by understanding what this transition means to them, identifying barriers to success, and making a plan to overcome those barriers. Clients have reported feeling the benefits of this approach within the first couple of sessions, and the collaborative approach helps things stick.

I am constantly learning and employ different therapy methods in my practice, depending on the client and their needs. I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is the most important aspect of any therapy, and that through building that relationship we can work together to help you find the best way to deal with the issues that brought you to counselling.
