We all need help at different points in our lives. This is not because we're broken, but because we're - temporarily - lost or stuck. As a counsellor, this is where I come in. My skills of active listening, curious questioning and unique counselling modalities enable me to help you move through challenges. All along, being guided by your feelings and thoughts. Imagine me as the lantern alongside you as you navigate your way through the darkness.
I offer a safe space where you can slow down to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours; to understand how they are influencing your outer reality. I’ll walk alongside you with care and curiosity as we make sense of your experiences and find ways to move through them with authenticity and self-compassion.
If you are curious about my counselling style, but still uncertain, you can book a 15 minute free video call to explore if I am the right fit for what you currently need.

In addition to individual clients, I also provide couple counselling. This entails making sense of the patterns and triggers that arise between the couple so the relationship can become more connected and supportive. Another offering of mine is moms' support groups that create a safe space for connection where mothers can explore shifting identities and questions of meaning and belonging.
