About me

I believe each person is unique and as a result each counselling session and plan is personalized to your needs and preferences. I understand that life can be hard and overwhelming at times. We all do our best and develop coping strategies to help ease our discomfort. Working together, we will gain a better understanding of your concerns or underlying issues. Whether you are looking for a non-judgmental and accepting listening ear, assistance with a specific issue, or help moving forward in a good way, I am here for your needs. I offer services for teens and adults experiencing concerns relating to anxiety, depression, communication and relational issues, neurodivergence, grief, and trauma. As an empathic listener I integrate openness, authenticity, and humour into the sessions using a person-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic approach. I draw upon various counselling modalities to meet each person's unique needs using multiple modalities including emotion-focused, mindful self-compassion, somatic, and cognitive behavioural therapy through an Internal Family Systems lens.
