My expertise covers a range of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, passivity, relationship ambivalence, trauma, and anger management. I am also skilled in counseling couples with regards to healthy communication, affair recovery, and enhancing emotional and physical intimacy.
As your counsellor, I am committed to helping you achieve meaningful change using a gentle yet direct approach.
