I truly believe treatment is a partnership between counsellor and client and will work with you to design an effective plan that recognizes your personal strengths and challenges. I use warmth, humour, and authenticity in my approach to make each client feel comfortable and to build a strong, positive therapeutic connection. I have experience using creative methods, such as games and movement activities, to connect with younger clients and spark their interest in the counselling process. I also support individuals with neurodiversity and their families.

Is the world too loud, fast-paced, and overwhelming? Do you feel things more deeply and notice subtleties that others miss? Being part of a society that is not designed for those with high sensitivity can often lead to anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Trying to “keep up” to those with a majority temperament may leave you feeling burned out and unable to show up for yourself and those you love in the ways that you want and deserve. Learning to understand your unique expression of this innate trait allows for you not only to survive, but to thrive and see the beautiful gifts of being a highly sensitive person (HSP).
