Counselling
Life can be messy sometimes, and it’s not always easy to figure things out on your own. That’s where counselling comes in. Whether you’re looking to explore personal struggles, strengthen your relationship, or bring more harmony to your family, I’m here to help in a way that’s personalized just for you.
​
I offer individual, couples, and family counselling in a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Everyone’s story is unique, and so is the approach I take. Whether you’re navigating tough emotions, communication struggles, or family challenges, we’ll work together to uncover ways to move forward that feel right for you.
Counselling is all about creating space to heal, grow, and connect, and I’d love to walk with you on this journey. If you’re ready to take that first step or just want to learn more, I’m here to chat and explore how I can support you. You don’t have to do this alone—we’ll figure it out together.

How Counselling Works
Let's connect!
You can book a free 15-minute consultation to see if the fit feels right, or book an initial session right off the hop!
I meet you where you're at
When you book your first session you'll be sent an intake package to fill out before we first met. That helps me learn what you're struggling with now, what past challenges may be influencing your current distress, and how you want your life to be different. I want to hear your story, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If you prefer to complete the intake package in-person that works too!
Together,
we make aÂ
treatment plan
I work with you to understand your goals and dreams, as well as the individual and collective barriers you face. Together, we develop a flexible plan specific to your needs, wants, and priorities.
Working together
Each of our sessions is a stepping stone to living a more authentic, calm, and content life. We adjust the plan based on what you bring to each session, and what you need to feel good about today and in the future.

A Focus on Connection
Every relationship has its ups and downs. My goal is to help you and your partner reconnect, understand each other’s needs, and rebuild a sense of closeness and trust.

Miscommunication can create distance and frustration. Together, we’ll work on understanding how you both communicate and uncover ways to express yourselves more clearly, helping you feel heard and valued by one another.

Every family has its own unique dynamics. My goal is to help your family identify patterns that may be creating conflict or tension and work together to create more harmony and balance at home.
