Services

Blending a variety of therapeutic techniques, I will teach you simple skills and strategies plus provide helpful feedback. I aim to assist you in confronting today’s challenges or explore your long-lasting patterns that keep you feeling stuck. We work together to overcome life’s roadblocks.

Why do women seek support?

Sometimes we can feel like a burden sharing our inner most concerns, issues or ideas with a friend or family member. Professional counselling and/or coaching provides the space where the focus is on you – no agendas, no judgements. The time is yours.

NEED TO MOTIVATION & ACCOUNTABILITY TO ACHIEVE A GOAL?

It’s important to know that counselling isn’t a quick fix, nor a magic wand over your issues. Therapy is an avenue to share you inner troubling thoughts, difficult feelings and secrets without any judgement. I believe you should take an active role in determining how many sessions are needed.

Initial Counselling Session | 15min free

A large part of therapy is trust and the therapeutic alliance. To see if we are a good fit and to gauge how you wish to work together let’s talk over the phone. There is no charge.

Subsequent Counselling Session | 60min $100

During our time together we will work through your struggles and expectations. Unpacking and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself will help bring you back to baseline.
