I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with nearly a decade of experience in counselling. I support adults and parents navigating anxiety, anger, ADHD, stress, addiction, burnout, and relationship concerns.

Sessions are designed to leave you feeling understood and equipped with tools you can put into practice immediately.
