Clinical Counsellor

WORKS WITH AGES 18+ - REMOTE SESSIONS ONLY

Are you looking for a safe space to share your story, find meaning in it, rediscover your value and potential, and gain direction?  

I am passionate about supporting individuals (18+), couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My work focuses on creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they explore their stories and make sense of their experiences.  

I have a particular interest in working with concerns related to life and career transitions, grief and loss, relationships, faith and spirituality, and anxiety and depression. My approach is grounded in the belief that when we begin to understand our story and feel more anchored in who we are, we can move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and connection.  

My own experiences of feeling lost, unheard, and uncertain of my direction have shaped both my personal growth and my professional passion. These experiences allow me to connect with clients in an authentic and empathetic way, meeting them where they are with care and understanding.  

I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey. Together, we can explore your story, gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and begin to reshape the narratives that no longer serve you—so you can move toward meaningful and lasting change.
