Choose courage over comfort
Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy is a form of counselling that takes place outdoors, where we walk side by side while engaging in the same kind of meaningful conversation we’d have in a traditional therapy room.
Being in motion and in nature can help ease anxiety, support emotional processing, and create a sense of flow. It’s especially helpful for individuals who find it easier to talk while walking, or who feel more comfortable outside than in an office setting. The pace and setting are always adapted to what feels safe and supportive for you.
"Our bodies are the unwavering historians of our lives. They harbor every fear, every memory, every joy we've ever encountered. In the silent depths of our being, every trauma leaves its mark, etching its narrative into our very flesh. While our minds may falter, our bodies remain steadfast, faithfully remembering the stories our brains have long forgotten." - Gabor Mate
My Counselling
As a licensed professional counsellor, I specialize in addressing the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional aspects of mental health. I work with individuals seeking to improve their overall well-being, understand personal stressors, and identify areas of functioning.
Whether you’re uncertain about what’s wrong or simply need a nonjudgmental, objective listener, I am here to support you.
Somatic Therapy
I am particularly passionate about somatic therapy, a holistic, body-based approach that integrates mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. In somatic therapy, we explore how your beliefs, emotions, and bodily sensations are interconnected. Through mindful awareness and embodied interventions, we can break free from unhelpful patterns and create lasting positive change.
While we cannot change the past, we can shift how the body holds it, allowing for healing and transformation.

My Coaching:
Certified Life Skills Coach
As a certified life skills coach, I’ve experienced firsthand the profound growth and successful transitions that coaching can bring. I believe everyone can benefit from coaching, especially during times of change.
Coaching is a collaborative process where we work together to enhance self-awareness, clarify goals, and unlock your potential for greater fulfillment. It provides a safe space to express emotions, overcome internal blocks, and gain clarity on your desires.
Through active listening, empathy, and powerful questions, coaching helps you think differently and take intentional steps forward. My goal is to support you with compassion, dignity, and respect, while empowering you to be more self-directed.
If this resonates with you, book a discovery call to see if we’re a good fit.
