Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know you're not alone in whatever you're facing.
I offer a safe, down-to-earth space where you can talk freely and openly—no filters, no judgment.
A big part of my work has been supporting people through grief and loss. I volunteer as a counsellor at a hospice, where I work with individuals who are navigating the pain of losing a loved one. Those experiences have shown me how deeply personal grief is—how it doesn’t follow rules or timelines—and how important it is to have someone simply sit with you in it, without trying to "fix" it.
I also support people with anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and relationship challenges—because life can throw a lot at us, and we all struggle sometimes.
My approach is gentle, human, and focused on what matters most to you. We’ll go at your pace and explore what’s going on underneath the surface.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to start with one small step—and I’ll be here to support you as you take it.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
