Maybe you’re struggling yourself, or you’re watching your child struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, friendships, school, work, or everyday expectations.
Counselling can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and find strategies that fit who you are —
not who you’re expected to be.
Does life feel harder than it should?

How I Help
Counselling with me is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in what works for you. I take a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed approach and draw from ACT, mindfulness, somatic strategies, and nervous-system education.
What Sessions Can Look Like
Depending on what feels comfortable and useful, sessions might include talking things through, using games or creative activities, finding grounding or regulation strategies that work for you.
There is no “right” way to do therapy here. You can ask questions, take breaks, move around, use a fidget, kick off your shoes, or tell me when something isn’t working. We’ll figure it out together.
You don’t have to sit still, make perfect eye contact, or know exactly what to say.
