Description
I consider it an honor to be invited into people’s lives through the counselling relationship. Working alongside clients as they strive for the relationships they desire and the personal growth important to them is such an inspiring journey to be on. Life gets difficult for us all at times and I love helping people find the direction and perspective they are looking for. I work to create a genuine and empathic connection with each person I see in therapy. Sharing our struggles can be difficult and that’s why it’s important to me that you feel seen and deeply respected in our time together.
