Description
From wherever you’ve come, and whatever brings you to this page, you are so welcome here. Working as a counsellor is an immense privilege. Entering the uttermost vulnerable and pained parts of another’s life, to me, is a sacred act. I feel a deep sense of wonder towards the stories and experiences each of my clients brings. I view flourishing through a holistic and relationally-centered lens. I hold both our embodied experience and relational connections as integral avenues of wellness. I look forward to journeying alongside and supporting you in whatever ways bring about flourishing.
