Are you looking for a safe space to process family abuse or estrangement? You might need support and guidance in navigating the depths of grief and loss. If you are looking for kind and non-judgemental support, then you’ve come to the right place. I have experience in supporting people with family abuse and trauma, chronic stress and burnout, as well as grief and mourning. In our work together, you will learn how to develop a kinder relationship with yourself, as well as learn skills and tools to set boundaries with people, live your heart centred values and learn how to get in touch with your own innate aliveness.
I use mindfulness-based interventions, ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), and emotion focused (EFT) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed approaches. Our work will support you in cultivating present-moment awareness, reconnecting with your values, and exploring your life with compassion, creating space for kindness, clarity, and meaningful change.
I offer in person counselling on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at my office downtown, and I also offer online counselling during the week, as well as a free 20 min consultation via phone or tele-health. If you're curious about how my approach can support you on this path, I invite you to get in touch with me to learn more.
