In our journey of life, we may encounter experiences, emotions, and patterns that make it challenging for us to feel a sense of fulfillment in life. Participating in counselling can help you navigate and process these challenges, either from the past or present moment, constructively and build a more meaningful and satisfying life with new coping strategies and skills, insight and self-awareness, and changes in behaviours/environment through in-depth exploration of self. We are all work in progress, and although it can be daunting to begin this process, it can help you find that inner spark to change how you feel about your life.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I support you progressing toward your goals for healing, change, and growth. I bring a humanistic and trauma-informed lens to my understanding of life, meaning that I see you as an expert of your lived experience and I am attuned to how experiences that overwhelm your internal resources can impact you.
I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, but most importantly, I individualize my approach with your feedback to help you work through the concerns that brought you here. Please visit my website to learn more about me and my practice.
