The Lunar Light Approach


I believe that there is power in sharing our energy, telling our stories, connecting to nature, sharing space, shedding tears and even laughter. There is also healing power in reconnecting to ourselves.

I have years of experience counselling adults in the areas of relational trauma, anxiety, and healthy relationships.

My main focus is on empowering clients, and providing tools and skills to support you in stepping into your best life.​

The Lunar Light Counsellor

As an individual, I am a mother, cat lover, and artist. I identify as bisexual, and am an ally to others in the 2SLGBTQ community.

I am spiritual, and a feminist, with a strong belief in the importance of empowerment and working against injustices.

Throughout my life, I have struggled with my own mental health and traumas, which include anxiety, healing childhood abandonment wounds, and unhealthy and abusive intimate partnerships.

These issues took work to overcome, but with support, I found healing. This is what makes me so passionate about supporting healing in others.
