Therapy with Growing Small Counselling is relational, respectful, and at your pace. Offering trauma-informed, culturally responsive counselling experiences that honours where you’ve been and helps you explore where you’d like to go.
Growing Small Counselling, works with individuals 18+, of all cultural and intersecting backgrounds.
My approach integrates somatic-based and internal family system practices, CBT tools, psychodynamic reflection, and expressive therapies. Whether you're navigating life experiences, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, I hold space for your story with care, curiosity, and compassion.
At Growing Small Counselling, you’re invited to come as you are. Here, growth is tender, relational, and grounded in the wisdom of those who came before us. Together, we explore, not perform, what it means to feel whole.
