With over 30 years of experience in counselling and teaching, I am dedicated to addressing gender, youth, women's issues, neurodivergence, and transitions across the lifespan. Life changes can be challenging, but also empowering and growth-oriented. I am passionate about helping individuals, adults, youth, and families find new ways to open up and untie the complex knots in their lives so they can see new solutions and achieve their dreams. I am here to believe in YOU.
Counselling. I am a feminist therapist who offers compassionate, evidence-based therapies. I promise I will always show you supreme kindness and respect. Neurodiversity. I use visual narratives, art, and literacy tools such as text-to-speech and dictation to help you - or your child - increase reading-writing confidence, story-telling skills, and learning.
As your counsellor, it is my job to offer my 30+ years of professional academic and counselling work to encourage you to learn about all parts of yourself. It is my job to remind you to attend to the kind caring of your precious Self. It is your job to embrace who-you-really-are and give yourself growth. Are you ready to come home to the REAL you?
