I’m a therapist, a parent and the person behind Rooted Counselling Services. My path here hasn’t been a straight line. Before becoming a therapist, I worked with as a professional photographer and spent time in hospital environments.

Each experience taught me something different about people, how much can be communicated without words, how important it is to look beyond what we see on the surface and how differently we all experience difficult moments in life. I also know that life can be complicated outside the therapy room. As a parent of gifted, intense and wonderfully complex children, I understand some of the questions, challenges, and emotions that can come with trying to support someone you love while also taking care of yourself.

Today, I work with people who are navigating stress, difficult experiences, parenting challenges, relationship issues and the many situations in life that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or simply unsure of what to do next.

My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded in getting to know you, not just the problem that brought you to therapy. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. We can start with where you are and take it from there.

I’m glad you’re here.
