my approach

Therapeutic rapport & compassion
are the cornerstones of my work.

My aim is to support an emotional ease
within the lives of my clients
by offering authentic & heart-centered connection.

It’s said that trauma is formed in relationship
(with others & the world)
& trauma is healed in relationship.

Counseling offers a dedicated time & space
to honour what you’ve been through.
To deeply let go.
Explore what’s beneath the surface.
Vision what’s next.

It offers an opportunity
to form a safe & healthy relationship.
One where you’ll heal wounds & form new pathways.

Through conversation & curiosity
we explore what feels meaningful to you.
Some folks work towards specified goals,
while others enjoy meeting in the moment
& seeing what comes up.

Like tending a garden,
counseling helps identify & pull the weeds of life
while nurturing the flowers that have been there all along.

I offer trauma-informed care,
exploring the impact that our experiences have
on both the brain & the body.

Operating from a person-centered, anti-oppressive framework,
I recognize that each client is unique & deserves individualized consideration when determining how we’ll work together.

I lean toward a narrative; mindfulness-based; integrative approach to psychotherapy & am an advocate
for bringing psychedelic assisted therapy
into the mainstream of psychotherapy.

I often incorporate somatic practices; visualization
& an intro to ‘IFS‘ exploration into my sessions.

For interested clients,
I hold space for personalized
hypnotherapy inner journey sessions.
This deep dive offers an at-home retreat experience,
curated for you & your path.

· · ·

Although there are many evidence based modalities
that I resonate with & incorporate,
I tend toward intuition over technique.

My biggest joy is connecting with others.
I aim to honour my clients with safety & deep trust.

If you feel called to connecting, drop me a line.
