I bring not only professional training, but lived experience — including 8 years of sobriety — and deep understanding of the challenges that can come with addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence (AuDHD).
Whether you're facing a specific issue or just feel that something isn’t quite right, counselling can offer space for clarity, healing, and personal growth.
