Provider information

Description

Hello! I'm a Counselling Therapist supporting adults and youth (15+). My specializations include anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I am currently accepting new clients for fall 2024.

I quickly establish rapport with clients in a safe and welcoming environment conducive to reaching their goals. I work collaboratively with clients to establish the best path forward, working together to create a plan and outcomes specific to them. Additionally, with 8+ years as a Child and Youth Counsellor, I have valuable experience connecting with and helping teens and young adults.
