Perhaps you have been carrying more than anyone realizes while continuing to show up for work, family, and your responsibilities. Life can become overwhelming under the weight of trauma, loss, workplace stress, family challenges, or major life transitions that affect your emotional wellbeing. As a qualified Social Worker, Counsellor, and Wellness Practitioner, I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore difficult experiences, gain insight, and develop practical tools for healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and culturally sensitive - every story matters.

I work with children from two years old, adolescents and adults that are experiencing behavioural, emotional, academic and career-related problems due to difficulties with adjustment. Having had much exposure and experience with different types of trauma, I am passionate about working with all spheres of trauma, particularly with children. Career assessment and subject choice for scholars is an area I enjoy assisting with. Having worked with many individuals that develop psychological issues from studying subjects that they are not passionate about, or being in a career that does not promote self-actualisation.

You are unique, with your own strengths and weaknesses. With the right perspective and tools, you can overcome great challenges. There is much to be gained by working through our challenges- a fuller, more authentic and abundant life. But admitting that you're facing troubles, that you need assistance or that you do not feel fulfilled is the first step. Reach out if you need a safe space & an empathetic ear to work through difficulties, and to discover the hope that lies beyond what you have experienced. "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in given circumstances"

Life can be hard — but it can also be wonderful. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to unpack the heaviness of stress, trauma, grief, or feeling stuck, and to gently reconnect with joy. My work is grounded in helping adults, couples, and parents process both past and present experiences, with a special focus on the nervous system and brain-based therapies to support balance, regulation, and emotional wellbeing. I also work relationally, exploring how you impact — and are impacted by — those around you.

A typical client is someone who has been carrying more than they can hold for far too long. On the surface they may appear to be functioning (showing up for work, family, friends) but on the inside they are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. Such a client is at risk for reaching a breaking point which may lead to acute stress, anxiety, or depression.
