When It Looks Like You Are Managing, But It Does Not Feel That Way
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm do not always look obvious from the outside. You may still be working, caring for other people, keeping up with responsibilities, and doing what needs to be done while your mind rarely feels quiet.
Counselling can provide a confidential, supportive space to explore and understand what is happening for you. It is natural to not always know what to say or what to do in therapy. I will work with you to find a way to move forward.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
I support adults experiencing persistent worry, racing thoughts, second-guessing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, difficulty relaxing, and feeling mentally “on” much of the time.
Depression & disconnection
I support when you feel low, stuck, unmotivated, isolated, or unlike yourself.
Life transitions & identity
I support adults navigating change, grief, relationships, cultural identity, migration, family transitions, boundaries, uncertainty, and questions about belonging or what comes next.
Trauma-informed support
I offer counselling that considers your experiences, identities, relationships, culture, nervous system, sense of safety, and the broader context of your life.

One-on-one counselling for emotional well-being, relationships, communication, grief, boundaries, coping skills, and life transitions.
A counselling approach that considers the whole context of your life
My work is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in an anti-oppressive lens. Some approaches that I draw from in session are CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, mindful self-compassion, and strengths-based listening.
Counselling is not about forcing a one-size-fits-all solution. I tailor my approach to your needs and goals, and my intention in session is to support you in a way that you find helpful. In counselling, I will guide you through the process of understanding your experience while considering context, and offer practical and helpful strategies to manage what is happening for you. The counselling process may include unpacking emotions, experiences, behaviour patterns, coping strategies, and ways we navigate day-to-day life. No topic is off-limits in counselling.
Trauma-informed
Support that moves at a pace that respects safety, trust, and where you are at.
Collaborative
You are part of the process. Sessions are shaped around what feels useful and relevant to you.
Practical and reflective
A balance of insight, emotional processing, and tools you can use outside of sessions.
Anti-oppressive & intersectional
A space that recognizes identity, culture, power, belonging, and lived experience.
