I provide individual counselling for both adults and youth, with an approach tailored to each person's needs, circumstances, and goals.

Group Counselling
Group counselling can provide an opportunity to connect with others who may be navigating similar experiences. Groups offer a supportive environment where participants can share experiences, learn from one another, and develop new skills and perspectives.
Single Mom by Choice Group Support
Becoming a single mother by choice can be an exciting and meaningful journey, while also bringing unique emotional, practical, and social challenges.
I offer group support for women who are navigating the experience of becoming or being a single mother by choice. Groups are offered periodically, with new intakes announced as they become available.
Education & Workshops
I provide educational workshops and presentations for agencies, organizations, and groups.
Workshops can be customized to meet the needs of your organization and may focus on topics related to mental health, coping, emotional well-being, youth, relationships, or other areas of interest.
If your organization is looking for a workshop or educational presentation, please get in touch to discuss your needs.
