Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness. CVAP approved.
With years of life experience as a teacher, coach, and counsellor, I have witnessed many struggles, and been able to support others. It starts with listening deeply and creating trust and openness, the foundations for a therapeutic relationship. CBT, Somatic EMDR, EFT, mindfulness offer tools and anchors helpful in the process of inner work.
We are all connected, we are all human, we all need a lift and a caring hand sometimes. If you feel the time is right to reach out….my door is open. You will be seen, you will be heard, you will be safe. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. It has been said that people find me easy to talk with, open up to, and trust in. An LGBTQIA+ safe space.

Getting to know you is the first step in our time spent. Regardless of the modality, you steer the ship, I watch currents, listen to the winds, and ask your permission, always, if you would like to consider adjusting the sails and find a new and different bearing. Many different approaches can be used, but you feeling safe, heard, seen, understood and cared for is at the heart of therapy.
