After completing an MA in Clinical Psychology, I began working as a therapist supporting clients experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use, and other difficulties with regulation and impulse control. In addition to training in a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I have completed Level 2 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This allows me to draw on parts work and Self-leadership as part of the counselling process, helping you connect with your inherent strengths while addressing the challenges you face. Together, we can create a counselling plan that is responsive to your goals, your personality, and your life circumstances.

Sometimes life feels heavy, overwhelming, or simply harder than it should. You don't have to carry it alone.
I'm a mental health counsellor and the founder of Rising Tide Counselling. I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, emotional struggles, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or who are simply trying to reconnect with themselves. My approach is relaxed, and collaborative. I believe therapy shouldn't feel intimidating or overly clinical comment it should feel like a space where you can exhale, feel heard, and explore what's weighing on you without judgment. Together, we work towards greater self understanding, resilience, and meaningful change in a way that feels authentic to you.
If you're considering taking that first step, I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation so we can connect and see whether we're the right fit
