  • About Me

    Women typically come to me because they feel exhausted and overwhelmed with the fast-paced life they lead. They are uncertain about their goals or if achieving them is even possible. They yearn for more in life but feel trapped and unable to progress. Making decisions is a challenge, leading to procrastination and worry as they strive to do the right thing. Life hasn’t turned out as expected, leaving them feeling like failures in all aspects of life. They feel unskilled, under-resourced, depleted, and emotional management can be a daunting task

    As a working mom, I have firsthand experience of the difficulties that come with navigating life in today’s society. I am empathetic, supportive, and experienced in supporting and empowering hundreds of women dealing with these issues. I offer online counseling sessions to help women overcome their struggles and flourish in all areas of life.

    I am passionate about empowering women, because life these days can be tricky to navigate.

    Discover your path to flourishing with counselling designed just for you. You deserve happiness and prosperity on your terms. Let’s uncover what’s holding you back and why.

    My approach is sensitive, respectful, and understanding. You’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your options confidentially. Instead of advice, we’ll discover what feels right for you now. If you’re unsure, we’ll explore this together, and we can build skills and resources aligned to you. Those who benefit most are open to self-exploration, aiming for holistic self-connection.

    I know it’s hard to ask for help. You might have felt this way for a while, knowing you needed to talk to someone but unsure if it would help. Making the call is often the toughest step, but I’m here to help you live your best life.
