As a queer person, former evangelical, career shifter, and survivor of childhood trauma, I bring deep empathy and lived experience to the counselling space. I understand the fear, grief, and confusion that can accompany personal growth—and the power of self-understanding and compassion.
I work with adults of all ages, backgrounds and identities, offering a compassion-focused, collaborative space for healing and self-discovery. Empathetic support is provided, fostering a deeper understanding of our human experiences, such as LGBTQ+ experiences, workplace conflicts/trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationships, and more.
My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and self-compassion work, inspired by Kristin Neff. I also integrate attachment theory, inner child work, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. Whether through quiet reflection, shared laughter, or emotional processing, I offer a safe relational space where clients are supported to explore challenges and heal.
As compassion for all your parts, experiences and Self grow, a softening occurs and you are more likely to navigate through life with a sense of worthiness, making values-based decisions with greater confidence, and propelling yourself forward into more authentic ways of being with yourself, others, and the world.
