I work a lot with people who've never seen a counsellor before. I'm interested in who you are now, where you want to be, and work with you to get there. I live in a rural area, have lots of experience working with the rainbow and neurodivergent communities, and strive to build a trusting, supportive relationship with clients where we can get to the heart of your situation. I can help you find your strengths, collaborate on strategies that work for you, and listen when you need someone to really hear your story.
I have extensive experience working with adults and adolescents both in-person and online. I offer both short-term solutions-focused therapy and longer-term support for trauma, anxiety, understanding identity and change, grief and relationship issues. I am passionate about making counselling as accessible and engaging as possible.
If you're looking for a warm, friendly, supportive counsellor who runs it straight and isn't afraid to deal with the difficult stuff, then get in touch!
