Warm, Collaborative, Experienced

With a strong foundation in experience and a deep commitment to kindness, warmth, and professionalism, I offer counselling and social work support that’s both compassionate and practical. I believe in creating a space where we can talk about what really matters to you and work together to navigate whatever challenges life throws your way.

Every step of the process is grounded in collaboration. Your voice matters, and your hopes and goals guide our conversations. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or exploring change, I’m here to support you with care, respect, and a deep understanding of the many contexts that shape our lives.
