As a client-centered Family Therapist/Counsellor, I have the privilege of working with families, relationships and individuals. I help find the strength to create life changes, by identifying current patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, while working toward increasing an overall sense of well-being. I believe that a strong, trusting, and comfortable therapeutic relationship coupled with a compassionate and respectful approach fosters a safe environment. It is here that difficult topics and the sense of being "stuck" can be discussed and explored, until new/different ways for sustainable change can be found and implemented.

My intention is to provide a space for individuals and partner(s) that is non-judmental, respectful and empowering. I aim to facilitate difficult or uncomfortable conversations while supporting clients to become better aligned with their values individually and in their relationship(s). Authenticity is important to me, I work holistically and collaboratively with clients and honor all sexual expressions, preferences and identities.

I am a relationship and trauma centred Therapist and Social Worker. Leading with curiosity and compassion, I see my role as holding space for you to find the hope, sit in the discomfort and make sense of the stuck.

I ground my work in helping adults calm their anxious minds and make sense of their experiences to live true and authentic lives.

A safe and compassionate relationship interwoven with effective professional guidance are essential to developing new perspective and experiences, and ultimately well-being and thriving.

In the realm of mental and spiritual well-being, each individual's journey is uniquely nuanced, often requiring a compassionate guide who is not only well-versed in the complexities of the human mind but also specializes in navigating its intricate challenges. That's where my professional expertise comes into play. Specializing in Education and Learning Disabilities, Parenting, and Relationships, my practice is rooted in the understanding that psychological support must be as diverse as the individuals seeking it.

Throughout my extensive and varied professional experience I have had the privilege to work with clients in many different contexts. Some of the topics and challenges I’ve helped clients with include anxiety, depression, family/parent conflict, relationship struggles, motivation, abandonment issues, boundary setting, shame, vulnerability, communication skills, anger, identity, gender, sexuality, trauma, suicidal ideation and substance use. I believe everyone has many examples of resilience in their life, which I work to celebrate and help clients build upon. I value safe and affirming care practices for all identities.

I consider it a privilege to work with people who want to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. It's natural to seek help when struggling with low mood, unhealthy habits or difficulties getting along with the people around us.
