"We are all wired for connection. It’s in our biology. As infants, our need for connection is about survival. As we grow older, connection means thriving – emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. Connection is critical because we all have the basic need to feel accepted and to believe that we belong and are valued for who we are” - Brene Brown At the core of my practice, I believe that a meaningful therapeutic connection can spark change. Talk therapy is a powerful tool to build and enhance acceptance, connection, and healing.
I feel privileged to hold space for people to process the difficult feelings and pain that may arise during the counselling process, and I am skilled in navigating these experiences. I use an integrative approach, understanding that our distress and strategies for coping are informed by our biology, history, surroundings, relationships, and social context.
I primarily work with people to heal from disordered eating, eating disorders, feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, depression, anxiety, and grief. Since 2010, I have worked with individuals struggling with trauma, substance use, and chronic health conditions including HIV. I am told I bring warmth, genuineness, and a sense of humour and joy to therapy.
