Counselling is a place to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what you’re carrying.

I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, or struggling to manage the demands of everyday life.

ADHD-Informed Counselling (No Diagnosis Required)

I do not provide medical or medication advice.
