I am a Clinical Counsellor registered with PACFA with profound experience in dealing with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma, anger management.
My approach consists of being an active listener, and when appropriate, I will encourage reflective thinking to guide you to understand yourself and your thoughts. I am an advocate for healthy and positive thinking: we all have it within ourselves (no matter where we are in life) to bridge the gap that you are looking for, and my part is to facilitate you to be that bridge. Everyone has their own beliefs, ideas, opinions and thoughts that generates a unique profile that should be met with understanding and sensitivity.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
