I am also passionate about emotion regulation, assertiveness training, building self-esteem, and working with individuals in abusive or toxic relationships. Professional coaching and career exploration are also areas of focus.

I strongly believe in a collaborative process when it comes to the counselling relationship. Transparency, honesty, and kindness are cornerstones of my practice. We will work together to set our goals and make sure we are moving in the right direction!
