Counselling to help you rediscover joy in life.
Is Anxiety holding you back?
Do you wrestle with worry and regret?
Anxious thoughts can stop you from being at peace in the present.
Are insecurities eroding your confidence?
Anxiety can bring up an overwhelming amount of negative self-talk.
Are you feeling lonely or isolated?
Avoiding anxiety can cause you to pull back from activities and relationships.
You can change your experience
Anxiety doesn't need to keep undermining your life. Struggling with anxiety can mean that on the outside, you look like you have it all together but inside you feel a tightness in your chest, a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, a nagging in the back of your mind. Anxiety can keep you from being present with others, it might be speaking worries and fears about your future, and reminding you of past regrets, keeping you awake at night; it can be overwhelming!
When you meet with me you’ll find gentle support and guidance. In my mental health journey, I’m grateful for the counselors who accepted me as I was in the moment and supported my growth. I want to support others in the same meaningful way.
I view therapy as a collaborative process. As I hear your story, I get a sense of how therapy can support you. I regularly invite your feedback, so we move in the most helpful direction. Some anxiety is healthy. What I want for you is not to get rid of it altogether but to lessen it to a healthier amount so you can rediscover joy in life!
I offer a free consultation so we can start to get to know each other and make sure we are a good fit. If you want to explore partnering with me in your mental health journey, reach out! I look forward to hearing from you.

What to expect in a session?
I am person centered counsellor which means that in session you can expect to be heard, accepted, and understood. It is my desire that in experiencing the safety of this connection you will have the freedom to explore your own thoughts, process your experiences, grow in self awareness, and make decisions for future change.
I believe developing self compassion is foundational to inner healing. You can expect a gentle focus of tuning into your inner experience, being aware of your personal judgments, and practice extending kindness to yourself.
My client recently shared, "when I'm here I feel present". This in the moment connection to our experience is what helps us to become more alive. I invite my clients to join me in practicing mindfulness exercises that grow our connection to our present moment experiences.
