Description

Working with both individuals and couples, I am a highly compassionate, respectful and active counsellor who listens to your needs and adapts sessions accordingly, using a variety of mind and body approaches. I believe that life’s struggles are part of being human and that counselling is a collaboration — an opportunity to “walk with” you through difficulty by providing empathetic listening and concrete skills.
 
I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I hold Master of Social Work (MSW) and have multiple additional trainings in approaches for individuals and couples.
