I offer a holistic approach to counselling, honoring each client's unique journey and focusing on harnessing individual strengths. My specialties include children, youth, families, and marginalized populations. With extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, those with special needs, mental health challenges, and immigrants, I deeply appreciate the strengths and perspectives of partners, parents, and siblings in these dynamics. If you’re feeling discouraged, stuck or isolated, you don’t have to face them alone. I am committed to helping you navigate these difficulties and achieve a more balanced and fullfillin life.
I assist with unique challenges, using my extensive experience to help individuals reach their potential, improve relationships, navigate parenting, life transitions, and self-esteem, and address diversity-related issues. My goal is to empower clients by untangling difficulties, fostering self-discovery, and helping you find a path to lead with confidence.
I understand that seeking support is a significant step, and I deeply appreciate the courage it takes. To help you feel comfortable, I offer complimentary consultations. I provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges and growth. My goal is to empower you to navigate life’s complexities with resilience and confidence.
