About Me.

Thank you for being curious about me. 

​

My path to becoming a counsellor was born from a fascination with people's stories and our infinite capacity to grow. I find deep meaning in witnessing others grow and become their authentic selves. 

​

I know this journey isn't easy because I've walked it too. I personally struggled with anxiety for many years; I was stuck in people-pleasing and genuinely believed I had to be a certain way to be accepted. I had to embark on my own journey of self-discovery (which, honestly, is still ongoing!) to understand the work I offer you now.

​

My deep curiosity about individual experiences and the power of self-expression was nurtured through my background in theatre and performance. This exploration of diverse perspectives and the uniqueness of each voice ultimately solidified my calling to counselling.

​

As a dedicated counsellor, I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your inner world. My focus is always on empowering you to cultivate greater self-awareness, build resilience, and find your meaning.
