Life experiences can affect your emotional and physical well-being in ways that are not always easy to understand. Past trauma, difficult relationships, workplace stress, caregiver stress, grief – including the loss of a beloved pet – and changes in your health can contribute to anxiety, overwhelm, or burnout. As a registered social worker (MSW, BSW, RSW) with more than a decade of experience in healthcare settings, I offer a compassionate space to explore what you are experiencing.
Using a trauma-informed approach, we will work together to understand how your experiences may be affecting you and identify practical steps toward feeling better. Your care plan will reflect your goals, needs, and comfort level, and our work will move at a pace that feels right for you. Evening and weekend appointments are currently available.
Choosing to begin counselling is a meaningful step toward the change you want to create. You remain at the center of the process, with the freedom to explore your options, make informed choices, and move forward in a way that feels manageable and authentic to you.
If you would like to learn more about what counselling with me could look like, you are welcome to book a free consultation at a time that works for you.
I might be right for you if...
You're wanting to better understand yourself and your physical and emotional responses to past or present stressors
If you're wanting to increase your self esteem or self worth
