Description
If you are at a place on your journey where you are struggling and are curious about what counselling could offer, I would be honoured to support you. I am here to hold space for you in a safe, trusting, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental environment, to meet you where you wish to begin, listen to your story, and walk along side you on your path, so to speak. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to join with people to help them access their capacity, focus on their strengths, move through obstacles, and live a meaningful life that reflects their personal values.
