Description
I am drawn to the helping profession through my love for relationships, and a deep desire to understand emotional processes and healing. I am genuine, caring and an insightful counsellor who creates a safe therapeutic space to foster personal growth and self-awareness. My wealth of life experience provided me with an ability to understand common patterns which affect most people in their journeys. Regardless, it is Trauma, Depression or Anxiety... I am here with my clients to explore possibilities for change. “It doesn’t matter how slow you go, as long as you don’t stop.”— Confucius
