Hello! I am currently taking new clients and can offer short wait times. I work with adults who are seeking help with life changes, relationship challenges, parenting challenges, mental health issues (in themselves or in their partners), or anything that is preventing them from being their best self. Ideally my clients would be interested in getting to the root of their issues, and be committed to several sessions. I know we are all "enough", and that the answers we seek lie within ourselves. Sometimes a counsellor can help you find those answers, and I'd be honored to try.
Currently, I am passionate about how trauma, (multi-generational, attachment wounds and relationship traumas) impacts our lives in adulthood. I use talk therapy, EMDR, and somatic experiencing (body awareness & processing) to help clients move through, process and hopefully release those traumas.
Seeking therapy is a highly personal and private experience and I understand that sometimes it is hard to take that first step. I believe we are all on a journey of figuring ourselves out. I try to practice self-care in my own life and I draw from my own experiences both in life and with clients.

I help you identify the root causes of your current distress and together we make a treatment plan that will most likely require you to process traumatic memories (only when & if you're ready), challenge unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, forgive yourself, and live a more intentional life.

I spend time getting to know my clients and from there the client and I determine what the best treatment options are. Usually clients are most comfortable with talk therapy, and from there we may explore some trauma processing with EMDR and sensory awareness (Somatic Experiencing). Sometimes I assign "homework". Check-ins and goal setting are important.
