Everyone - regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or social standing - deserves competent, kind, and compassionate care. As Covid recedes, the life challenges facing younger, middle-aged and older adults, including transitions, relationships, loneliness, body image, sexuality issues, and concerns around meaning and purpose, to name a few, remain. I have significant life and career experience as a teacher and Guidance Counsellor working with adolescents, and as an administrator and coach working with adults and teams. I am eager to meet you wherever you are along your life journey.
You are the expert on you! Working collaboratively with you, I integrate relational, EMDR and contemplative psychotherapeutic strategies, such as mindfulness, acceptance and compassion practices. I am guided by attachment and trauma theory to help you unlock the door to the origins of your suffering, while believing that healing takes place in the present.
I invite you to join me in this collaboration: a meaningful, graceful - sometimes awkward - “dance” that fosters change. Discover your True Self, why you're here, and how you can accept, enjoy and share your unique gifts. Give yourself permission to heal wounds, celebrate your you-ness, and develop insights into the ways you relate to yourself and to others.
