About Me
Approach
Services
I provide compassionate counselling that champions your strengths, honours your journey, and creates space where you feel truly seen and supported.
My counselling approach draws from my personal experience living with a chronic illness, as well as by Disability Justice, narrative, person-centred, and strength-based perspectives that honour your unique experiences, celebrate your strengths, and empower your journey toward healing.
I specialize in counselling for disability discrimination, ableism, chronic illness, physical disability, and caregiver support. I also provide general adult counselling.
