Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm pleased to connect with you! I practice counselling and psychotherapy from a place of warmth, respect, compassion, mindful presence and curiosity. Therapy can be a place to explore different sides yourself, while taking a step back to gain a broader perspective. I'm here to support your goals, your journey, whether it be to manage stress, or the challenges arising from a new or existing diagnosis. I focus on your strengths and help you to develop them to build your capacity to cope, and heal.
My approach is eclectic, client-centred, and trauma-informed. I want you to feel comfortable and safe, while being open to learning more about you. We can work with mindfulness-based practices, talk therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, along with creative and strengths-based exercises. I also offer Rest and Restore Protocol, which is a sound therapy.
Let's gently work on letting go of some unhelpful coping strategies, and engage in new, healthier ways of being. I will help you to prioritize self-care, compassion, and patience with yourself during therapy. I look forward to meeting with you.

Brainspotting, EMDR and other somatic therapies are wonderful, creative therapies that support clients to process trauma through the body. I find that clients gain more self-compassion, new insights, and an increased sense of returning home to themselves through these practices.
