Counselling & Psychotherapy (Virtual)
Mission & Vision
My mission is to be there for you every step of your journey, and this means finding creative new ways to connect. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
My vision is to help individuals heal, transform, build resilience, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by creating the most effective therapeutic setting for each person. Traditional "talk therapy" is comfortable for some, and others are open to exploring Equine Assisted Therapy as an creative therapeutic approach with new area for growth and healing.
