Summary
I believe that no one should have to move through their challenges alone. I create a compassionate, accepting and curious counselling space to navigate these difficulties together. My approach is person centered and holistic with the understanding that you are the expert in your own life and possess the strength to make meaningful change for yourself. I work to meet you where you are at and move forward from there with the use of various counselling approaches that are personalised to your individual needs.
