There are so many counsellors and coaches out there.

 

Why contact me?

 

I am glad you asked.

 

I ask powerful questions to get you reflecting, thinking and moving in the right direction.  I would call myself a knowledge translator.  I provide useful insights by translating evidence-based research into practical tools that you can access in a meaningful way.

 

I incorporate neuroscience with psychology, along with theories of human development to support my clients.  I integrate culturally sensitive and anti-racist lenses into my practice.  I am a masterful listener and ask thought-provoking questions that make you pause and reflect.  I challenge and push my clients, but do so in a safe and nurturing way.  And let’s be honest, if we have some fun along the way, that’s a bonus!

​

Most importantly, the proof is in the pudding.  I have yet to have a client tell me they didn’t get what they were looking for when they found me.  Now that’s powerful. I am not a magician, nor do I claim to have all the answers.  However, what I can promise is that you will leave my sessions feeling inspired, with a meaningful plan and hope for a better future.
