Description
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where clients may feel comfortable to freely express themselves while exploring life’s challenges. Through this process, a client may move towards clarity, gaining insight, and improving their overall well-being. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about providing a holistic approach to counselling that respects and honours each individual’s unique style, path and needs. I aim to guide and support while empowering clients to move towards their goals.
