Description
I specialize in working with individuals and couples. I am skilled in working with anxiety, phobias, BFRBs, stress management, and OCD. I provide support to children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families and offer support to adults and young people with confirmed or possible autism spectrum disorder. I am a Gottman-trained couples counsellor. I also find it a privilege to work with neurodiverse populations. I have experience providing support to individuals with traumatic histories and work with clients of all ages and abilities.
