I want to work with individuals who are going through a difficult life challenge, like mental health challenges, substance use, loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, those who are seeking to grow and better themselves. I love working with people who are searching for their true identity and meaning in a world that often seems so confusing and challenging. I also love working with couples and families, I love exploring ways to enhance communication and build long lasting trust, love and respect.
I have 13 years experience as a social worker. I have intensive experience in individual- and family counselling. I also have experience in addiction counselling. I have a post graduate diploma in addiction care.
If you are someone, who has been feeling lost, confused and defeated, then I can offer a soft place of comfort, self-discovery and healing. Do not hesitate to reach out today.

I work with people who struggle with life challenges, who feel lost and hopeless. I work with those who feel like they have lost themselves and got tangled up in an unhealthy situation like substance use or an unhealthy relationship. Together we can walk on a journey of healing and self discovery to build wellness from within.
