Sometimes life sucks.
Perhaps right now, it's one of those times. Most people who start individual counselling or therapy feel lost in life, unsure of how to find their way. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you check things off your to-do list, but you don't feel like you're getting anything done, or you know you'd be happier if you made changes, but it feels safer and more comfortable to stay the same.
Stuck in negativity and feeling hopeless, you may feel like life is overwhelming, like it's just too much.
Individual Counselling & Therapy
counselling
why you might be here
Lack the motivation to do anything.
Lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life.
Know that sadness isn't helpful, but it feels impossible to shake.
Are living at a frantic pace leaving you frazzled and stressed.
Can't manage so many things and your forever growing "to-do list" leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed.
do you feel like you
If this sounds true for you, I want you to know that many of my clients have shared that it was difficult for them to come in. But getting the help you need is a sign of strength and will help you manage the stuff that comes up in your life. Self-care is not an indulgence or a selfish act. In fact, it is vital to take care of yourself when you have the responsibility of caring for others.

You don't have to go it alone.
I’m an empathetic, open-hearted counsellor who brings warmth, humour, and understanding to every session. With a down-to-earth and compassionate approach, I help you feel more hopeful, grounded, and present as you navigate relationship changes, stress, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions. Clients often tell me they feel instantly at ease in my presence — a space where you can exhale, drop the pretence, and simply be yourself in honest connection and care.

How Individual Counselling Works
Individual Counselling consists of 60-minute or 90-minute one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will ask questions and provide guidance based on my observation and experience; I play an active role.
Here's how it will work step-by-step
step One
Throughout our sessions, you will start making progress towards your desired life.
Keeping your unique goals in mind, we'll figure out what's needed to help you reach them.
We will also work to discover what your goals are in counselling or therapy and in life.
