Do you know that anxiety is our body telling us to be cautious and alert? But sometimes it can become overwhelming and interfere with our daily lives.

Depression is a deep emotional pain that makes it hard to find joy or motivation. It’s not that we don’t want to feel better; it’s that the weight of depression can make it difficult to see a way out.

PTSD is a natural response to traumatic experiences, where our minds and bodies try to protect us. It’s not that we can’t move forward; it’s that the lingering effects of trauma can make it challenging to find healing and peace.

It’s not that we lack strength or resilience to overcome these challenges; it’s that we sometimes need support and guidance to navigate through them.

Together, we can work towards understanding, healing, and creating a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

I am a passionate counsellor with an extensive background in nursing. Through the struggles I have witnessed firsthand on the frontline, I have grown committed to providing psychological support for those navigating life’s many challenges: anxiety, trauma, grief, and/or relationship concerns.

My main approach to counselling is the interpersonal process approach, which can help you find the understanding and connection you have been seeking.

In our sessions, we will explore the dynamics of your relationships and how they impact your well-being. We will explore how your interactions with others shape your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Imagine a life where you feel heard, understood, and valued in your relationships.

“Let’s discover your inner peace, unlock your potential, and create a life you love together.”
