I am an integrative counsellor, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to create sessions that are uniquely tailored to your needs. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you will feel truly seen and heard. With full presence, empathy, and curiosity, I will support you in exploring your inner world. Together, we can work with playfulness, creativity, inquisitiveness and humour at times, as you embark on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
A holistic approach to therapy honours the interconnectedness of all aspects of a person’s being—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Somatic inquiry & processing helps shift feelings, allowing them to move, transform, and be managed in a safe and supported way. This process allows the work to continue in your everyday life, beyond the therapy setting.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
