Give Yourself Space to Pause
Sometimes, we know something needs to change, but we have become so used to moving forward that we don't know where to begin.
Between caring for others, meeting responsibilities, and keeping up with everyday life, you may begin to feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what you actually need.
Counselling can offer a space to slow down, understand what you're experiencing, and gradually reconnect with yourself.

You may be here because…
Overthinking and Anxiety
“You worry easily, overthink, or find it difficult to switch off.”
Being Hard on Yourself
“You expect a lot from yourself and often feel that what you do is not enough.”
People-Pleasing and Boundaries
“You care deeply about others but often put your own needs aside.”
Life Transitions
“You are navigating changes in your work, relationships, family, identity, or stage of life.”
Caregiving and Burnout
“You spend a lot of energy caring for others and have little space left for yourself.”
Feeling Stuck in Old Patterns
“You understand what you want to change, but keep finding yourself returning to the same patterns.”
Feeling Disconnected from Yourself
“Nothing may seem obviously “wrong,” but you no longer feel quite like yourself.”
From Autopilot to Awareness
We often move through life on autopilot.
We follow familiar patterns, meet other people's expectations, try to be who we think we should be, and gradually lose touch with our own needs.
Counselling can give us space to slow down and notice what is happening within us — our thoughts, emotions, needs, and relationship patterns.
As we begin to understand ourselves more clearly, change does not always have to start with trying to become a better version of ourselves.
It can begin with understanding ourselves and making more intentional choices.

What Can Counselling Look Like?
Counselling isn't about being told what you should do.
Together, we may explore:
- what you're experiencing right now
- patterns that keep showing up
- the expectations and beliefs you carry
- how you relate to yourself and others
- needs you may have learned to put aside
- practical ways to create meaningful change
The process is collaborative, and we will work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
You don't need to have all the answers before you begin.

Affordable Counselling
Making counselling a little more accessible.
I understand that counselling can be a significant financial commitment, especially during times when life already feels difficult. For some people, the cost of counselling can become another barrier to seeking support.
As a way of giving back to the community that has supported me and my family, I offer a limited number of counselling spots at a reduced fee for individuals who are experiencing financial barriers to accessing counselling.
These spots are limited and subject to availability. If cost is a concern, please feel welcome to reach out and ask about the current availability of reduced-fee appointments.

Taking the First Step
You don't need to know exactly what you need before reaching out, or be certain that I'm the right counsellor for you.
You can start with a free 15-minute consultation and briefly talk about what you're going through.
We can see what you're looking for, what might be helpful, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
Payment & Insurance
Appointments are booked through Jane App. A valid credit card is required to confirm and hold your appointment.
Payment is processed at the beginning of each session. Receipts are provided for insurance reimbursement, where applicable.
We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm whether Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) services are covered under your plan.
