Counselling in Oak Ridges, ON. Find the Right Therapist.

I believe that an open, compassionate, trusting therapeutic relationship is necessary for us to safely explore our hearts and minds more deeply. When we can see and feel ourselves with more awareness and understanding, we can make more empowered choices in our lives.

I believe that growth, change, and healing happen within the safe container of the relationship with the therapist. I provide a compassionate place for you to talk about, explore, and identify the concerns that have prompted you to reach out for help and support.
