Firstly, congratulations on taking this important step on your healing journey. I am honoured that you are considering inviting me to walk alongside you at this time. I believe that all human behaviours serve a purpose, and you have likely found this page by recognizing that your current coping strategies are no longer serving you as they once did, and my job is to help you discover new ways to cope and self-soothe.

Integrity, and a non- judgmental stance are the primary pillars of my work with clients in addition to providing client-centered, compassionate, empathetic, and trauma-informed, and collaborative therapeutic relationships with the people I support.

It would be a privilege to walk alongside you and help you to see the innate strengths and abilities you already possess to feel connected, confident, authentic, and grounded in your day-to-day life.
