Welcome to Agency Counselling!

I believe that meaningful change starts with understanding ourselves a little better. My hope is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring what's going on in your life, and having conversations that feel both supportive and honest. I see counselling as a collaborative process, and I believe that you are the expert on your own experiences. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences, explore patterns, and find ways forward that feel right for you.

My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. I don't believe there is one approach that works for everyone, so I aim to be flexible and thoughtful in how we work together, based on your individual needs and goals.

I also believe that mental health is connected to so much more than just our thoughts. Our emotions, relationships, physical health, daily routines and lifestyle all play a role in how we feel. Where it feels relevant, I enjoy exploring things like movement, exercise, mindfulness and everyday habits as part of a broader approach to well-being.

I work with individuals navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, emotional regulation, boundaries, relational patterns and the impact of past experiences. Whether you're coming to counselling with something specific in mind or simply feeling like something needs to change, there is room for that here.

I strive to create an inclusive, welcoming and judgement-free space. I value individual differences and welcome people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, including members of the LGBTQ2S+ community and neurodivergent individuals. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My hope is that you feel accepted, understood and comfortable showing up as you are.

The nameAgency reflects something I believe deeply: while we can't always control what happens to us, we can work toward having a greater sense of ownership over how we respond, the choices we make and the direction we want our lives to take. So much of this work involves becoming more aware of our patterns, understanding where they come from, and recognizing where we have the ability to make different choices. I believe counselling can help create that space.

My approach combines compassion, curiosity and a willingness to explore things more deeply, including the questions and patterns that can sometimes be uncomfortable to look at. I want our work together to feel supportive, but also meaningful. My hope is that you leave our sessions with a better understanding of yourself, practical tools you can use in your everyday life, and a greater sense of confidence in navigating whatever life brings.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.
