Authentic & Meaningful Change

It can feel overwhelming to face mental health challenges, relationship struggles, or personal issues, especially with so much conflicting information out there. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, and it’s easy to feel lost or even frustrated by the information and process.

My clients are usually skeptical about counselling when they come to their first session and so I take pride in making things as simple and as approachable as possible. My passion as a counsellor is to work to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals, so we can work together to find a path forward that’s tailored specifically to you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, anger, depression, ADHD, addiction, or just a sense of being stuck, we can work through it step by step in a way that feels right for you.

We'll explore solutions that align with your values and personal strengths and work together to create a plan that feels authentic, and most importantly, achievable.

If you're looking for counselling to take the next step toward healing and growth, I’d love to hear from you.
