We each have our unique challenges that can impact how we feel about ourselves, our perceptions of safety, how we connect with others, and feeling fully present in our lives. I love helping people feel empowered to trust in and connect with their unique strengths, discover their own innate ability to heal their nervous systems and move towards a more loving, peaceful and joyful way of living in their lives. I support individuals navigate various challenges including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, self-doubt, feeling stuck, boundary issues, childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, grief and loss, aging, systemic oppression and more.
My approach to counselling is compassion centered and trauma informed. I incorporate Expressive Arts Therapy, mindfulness and somatic-inquiry. My work supports people in change habitual patters that keep them from living in self-compassion and ease. It fosters emotional regulation, helps process trauma, and builds inner resources to live in a meaningful way.
I believe that counselling should be a space where all of you feels safe and welcome. That transformative healing happens when you are listened to with compassion, skill and care. Where you feel empowered to be yourself, to explore your own process of growth, knowing that your nervous system will be met in every session. I look forward to hearing from you.
