Before building careers, I helped rebuild lives.
I did not become a counsellor because it felt like a calling. I became one because I knew what it felt like to be lost. I had sat in counsellors' offices myself and walked out feeling worse than when I walked in. That stuck with me.
I worked with young athletes dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure, and youth navigating substance use and identity. That work showed me what real resilience looks like.
Leaving counselling was not a failure. It was self-respect. What I learned in those rooms still guides me today, in every conversation, every relationship, every placement.

What I Brought Forward
Compassion. Honesty. Resilience. Empathy as a default, not a technique.
BMR Counselling & Consulting
Founded in 2016. Built on the belief that hard times do not have to be the end of the story.
The goal was simple. Share what I went through honestly enough that someone else might feel less alone. Project Awareness exists because a group of us decided our stories were worth telling out loud.

Built different on purpose.
Most recruiters source resumes. I read people. A lawyer burning out inside. A candidate who undersells because they have spent years masking. A firm dynamic that looks fine on paper but will not hold. That perspective changes what I notice, what I ask, and how I listen.
That is not a skill set. It is a wiring.
The legal profession has a mental health problem.
Burnout, depression and addiction are serious problems across the legal profession.
If you need someone who actually gets it, not just the legal market, but the human cost of it, let's connect.
