If you struggle to find meaning in your life, or feel lost at the moment, I offer a gentle space to reconnect to your own inner wisdom and move forward with confidence and new hope. I work with clients with intense burdens of anxiety, grief, depression, and childhood trauma. I offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) style therapy, allowing you to share your story, explore your past experiences and your future potential. I provide gentle, trauma-sensitive care as you navigate life’s challenges, help you brainstorm your next steps while being heard and supported at every step.
I work with CVAP (BC Crime Victim Assistance Program) clients, their family members and witnesses of violent crimes. CVAP clients are eligible for up to 48 fully funded counselling sessions. Please email me for more information.
I also provide Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP), focusing on pre and post-integration sessions to clarify insights from your experiences. I walk beside you through the hard times, and support you in finding new ways to live in difficult times. My hope is to re-connect you to your own inner wisdom and guidance for long term healing.
