Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. Dismantling stigma around mental health and promoting a culture of help seeking is very important to me. I work with relationship issues, work-related stress, loss, trauma, addiction, and anxiety. I have helped men, women and individuals of different ages, professions, diverse backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties and themes.

Our work together will help you feel more empowered, hopeful and in control when tackling life’s challenges and embracing change.
