I work with individuals on a wide range of issues, and have a particular interest in working with traumatic events, whether in childhood or adulthood. I also can help with health challenges, family relationships, gender issues and work-related stress. Counselling can be short term (2-8 sessions) or longer term. Please call, text or email for an initial appointment.
