Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, sadness, insecurity, anger, or being overwhelmed? Do you find it challenging to achieve a sense of balance, handle stress, and cultivate healthier connections with others? Are you feeling lost or stuck on your journey towards embracing your authentic self and living your best life?

Every journey begins with the first step.
 
Just envision how far you could progress and how much smoother the journey would be if you transformed your steps into confident strides. As a Registered Social Worker with more than 17 years of experience in counselling, it all begins with you setting aside the societal stigmas surrounding mental health, seeking support, and bravely confronting your fears. I am here to accompany you along the path that many of us find confusing and overwhelming—the path towards mental well-being and sustainable joy.
 
I will walk with you.
 
I will help you navigate and overcome the tumultuous thoughts/emotions keeping you up at night, impeding your progress, and affecting your ability to create a more fulfilling life, your best life, the life that you deserve. It’s about discovering what is in your way, what is immobilizing you, and what is keeping you from moving forward. The foundation of this mutual exploration is a solid and supportive therapeutic relationship.
 
You are not alone.
 
I passionately believe in the importance of building your trust, so that you can feel safe in being open and honest about whatever it is that you are going through. My services cover the vast and varied nature of life’s challenges. Whether you’re seeking counselling for anxiety, family and relationship issues, grief and loss, chronic illness and disease, career conundrums, youth struggles, caregiver strain, and more, I am ready to take that first step with you, no matter how small or big.
