Note: I work with people of all ages.

What could individual counselling look like with me? First off, the first session would be us getting to know one another to make sure that I am the right fit for you. It takes time to build trust and rapport so it may take us a few sessions for you to open up and that is okay. I will hold space for you to do things at your pace. I will ask you what has brought you to counselling, and if you have any specific concerns you want to focus on? I will want to learn about your culture to make sure that I am respectful of your beliefs and needs. I can offer counselling through phone, text or video.
