I’m the kind of therapist who shows up real—no judgment, no cliches, and definitely no sugarcoating. This is a space where your full, messy, honest self is welcome. We’ll explore what matters to you using tools like Narrative Therapy, DBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused work. I blend fierce support with gentle care, bringing warmth, humour, and a down-to-earth vibe. Whether we meet in person or online, I’m here to walk alongside you—honoring your story, your strength, and the path you’re carving forward.
My counselling approach is characterized by creativity, gentleness, and a focus on results. I adopt a solution-focused perspective, working closely with my clients to pinpoint practical strategies and tools that can be applied in their lives. I am available for both in-person and virtual sessions, therefore maximizing convenience and comfort for my clients.
I aim to find the juxtaposition of gentleness and fierceness in my practice, as I view it as a potent catalyst for transformative change in people’s lives. I take pride in cultivating a nurturing and empathetic atmosphere, often employing humour to establish a genuine connection with my clients on a relatable level.
