Counsellors in the final stage of their Master of Counselling program work with us to provide affordable, competent counselling services.

I work with individuals and couples to facilitate positive life changes in a way that works for their unique situation. With more than 25 years of counselling experience, I offer respectful and compassionate understanding, insight, and techniques that support people in finding their own path in a more satisfying and fulfilling life experience.
