My mission
“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” — John Maxwell
Creating a safe space
I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and our ability to heal. At Rosebush Counselling, I work with clients to create a safe and accepting environment where there’s respect for their uniqueness, diverse cultural background, and values.
I feel honoured to walk alongside clients in their healing journey. My services incorporate a holistic approach to client care and practice from a trauma-informed perspective.
