I am so glad you’re here!

Asking for support is a courageous first step in managing your mental health & wellness. It is easy to get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns that do not serve us. The good news is, we have more control over our thoughts and feelings than it may seem. You can learn to take charge of your behaviour with the right tools & techniques, to live a more fulfilled & happy life. I will work collaboratively with you to help set achievable goals that support empowerment, capacity building & resiliency. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to share so we can have relaxed & authentic conversations. During our sessions, I will help you understand yourself better so that you can in turn understand the reason behind your struggle with anxiety, poor boundaries, perfectionism, or low self-esteem and etc. We will then collaboratively work with effective tools to cope better and get "unstuck" so that you can be the best version of yourself.

 Making the decision to begin therapy might seem overwhelming and inconvenient due to busy schedules. That's why I offer convenient and hassle-free online therapy so you can get the help you need from the comfort of your own space. I welcome you to send me an email or call so we can discuss your counselling needs, and begin your journey towards healing.
