After 20 years of working in education, specialising in young adolescent development, I pursued a Master of Guidance and Counselling to expand my skills and focus on supporting emotional growth. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, grounded in the belief that true change begins with self-acceptance. While I draw on strategies from various cognitive-behavioral modalities, I believe that embracing who you are is the key to moving toward the life you truly want to live.
I'm not your typical counsellor. Often, I resonate with people who have struggled to find the right therapist in the past. With lived experience in navigating ADHD and life as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I bring a personal understanding to my practice. I have worked closely with individuals recovering from domestic violence, those with trauma backgrounds, and people experiencing PTSD.
As a career counsellor, I also provide guidance for those seeking career changes or struggling with workplace challenges, using tailored assessment tools to help you find direction. Whether you're navigating life transitions, overcoming trauma, or seeking emotional clarity, my commitment is to provide a supportive space where you can fully accept yourself and make empowered choices for your future.
