Description

Together, we can explore your day-to-day challenges or take a deeper look into what may be holding you back from feeling a sense of wholeness in your life.

My approach to counselling is an integrative and collaborative effort focused on:
- Nervous system regulation and deepening the mind-body connection
- Emotional awareness & expression
- Creating balance after stress & burnout
- Relationship challenges including attachment wounds, communication, vulnerability, boundary setting, and conflict resolution
- Mindfulness and presence in your daily life
