About me
As a Registered Counsellor I strive to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life's trials and challenges, providing a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and where there is no judgment.

My Approach
We are all complex individuals with unique perspectives and experiences and at the same time we are made to be in relationship with others.
I use an integrative approach when working with clients, drawing on a variety of theoretical approaches depending on the needs of my client.  I seek to acknowledge both the individual as well as external influences, as we explore possibilities to improving mental well being.
I believe in the innate power and ability of an individual to persevere through and overcome challenges that they may be facing.
