ABOUT ME

My desire to create a sacred space for relationship and connection is very much what drives me as a counsellor.

I bring to this work a deep understanding of the loss and pain of disconnection. I believe that we all have the ability to connect in satisfying, meaningful ways, but sometimes we need support to re-learn how.
