ABOUT MY APPROACH:

I take my holistic counselling lens into everything I do, including the way I support individuals living with disabilities. My approach is trauma-informed, deeply compassionate, and adaptable—because no two people’s needs are the same.

I understand how disability and mental health often overlap, and I’m here to offer attuned, empowering support that honours the full complexity of your experience.

Growing up as an undiagnosed neurodivergent kid, I always felt different but didn’t know why. Learning was a struggle, and I often felt like I had to work twice as hard just to keep up. Over time, I developed my own systems for regulation, emotional resilience, and creative expression—and now, I get to support others doing the same.

I may not have had the exact same experiences as you, but I’ve had my own, and I believe that’s what allows me to hold a non-judgmental, deeply understanding, and genuine space.
