For Individuals
Individual Counselling
My counselling approach focuses on identifying and celebrating personal strengths, learning to work with difficult emotions, and making a commitment to meaningful changes that will help you be the person you want to be. While I enjoy working with a range of issues and personalities, my areas of specialty are anxiety, attachment, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I also have experience with ADHD, codependency, depression, addictions, personality disorders, and stress.
Life Coaching
While counselling focuses on past and current mental health, coaching sessions are geared towards facilitating personal growth in various aspects of life, including relationships, physical well-being, work-life balance, and career development. These sessions are goal-oriented and provide ongoing accountability, ideas, and inspiration.
Youth Counselling
Counselling services for adolescents and teens provide a safe space for exploration and growth. Utilizing diverse interventions, I aim to bolster confidence and resilience for teens navigating life's complexities.
For Couples
Couples Counselling
Couples counselling sessions are tailored towards deepening understanding, fostering effective communication, and nurturing resilient connections. Grounded in evidenced-based practices such as the Gottman Method, my approach is designed to strengthen attachments and equip couples with tools to navigate challenges together.
