Healing Waves Counselling was created to provide people with a different type of healing experience. We live in such a fast-paced society where we are constantly striving to compete, do better, and make more money that we forget to be present. We want people to be able to work through their trauma and have them feel comfortable in their own skin, to reconnect people with themselves, reconnect with nature and the earth. Reconnecting to the environment and our surroundings can be so healing and grounding. We are here to walk with the client side by side on their journey. They are the experts of their own

At the heart of this therapeutic practice is the idea that problems lie between you and others as opposed to within you. How do you relate to your loved ones, strangers, and the world at large? Questions such as these will help you understand not only what you could change in your life, but also how to change it. The cultivation of truth occurs through building lasting trust: This is the core of working effectively towards solutions and change together. A heart of non-judgment, encouragement, empowerment, and tools are provided so that you can work through trauma from the past as well as practice new ways of living in the world.

Therapy is a journey of self-exploration and growth. Looking inward, our past and present, body and mind, thoughts and emotions, conscious and unconscious, internalization and projection, all interweave to tell the story of life. Whatever challenges you are facing in life, whether it is short-term concerns or significant life transitions, I can be your fellow traveler on this journey, to listen to your stories, to help you increase self-understanding, unlock potential and find ultimate meaning within.
