My Focus and Approach
As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Counsellor working in health care, I have seen the effects that health conditions have on individuals, their caregivers, loved ones and families. Physical, social, and emotional issues take their toll. Access counselling in a welcoming, safe environment where you can reflect, connect, and be present for your future.
Whatever it is, I am here to support you.
