My Approach & EXPERIENCE
Why I’m Passionate About This Work
Having navigated my own journey with neurodivergence, I know the importance of feeling truly understood. Working in community-based counselling and social services roles over the last 10 years has shaped me professionally and personally. It is my deep commitment to provide a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment or pressure. Together, we will explore your strengths, work through the challenges that hold you back, and cultivate the skills that allow you to move forward with confidence. ​
