I'm interested in working with people who are ready to take a journey into self-discovery: to inquire compassionately into joy, fulfillment, distress and suffering. Perhaps you have questions about who you really are, how experience has shaped you, what your place in the world is, how to cope with life changes, or how to keep going in the face of injustice. Are you disillusioned, lonely, or disappointed, wondering how to move towards belonging, vibrancy, and liberation? Perhaps existence simply feels wrong in a way you can't quite pinpoint.
Therapy is about making connections to find safety and get real. Experience leaves marks on our bodies and minds, which might keep us from safety or from getting real. When we look compassionately and bravely at these marks, we find liberating responses to our experiences. I provide kindness, stability and insight in the midst of these processes.
I'm passionate about community, culture, emotion, and care. The ways these have gone well or badly for us mingle to make our internal and external experiences of ourselves and others. Together, we can learn to care for the ways you might have been wounded and to direct your skills and gifts towards lifting you up and what sustains you.

My journey to psychotherapy took me to a PhD in anthropology - including research in Cameroon - post-secondary teaching, organic farming, stay-at-home parenting, academic publishing, and domestic abuse response. These experiences help me respect and care for clients as unique, social beings.

Therapy with me begins with a period of getting to know each other. You get to know me by noticing my gestures, responses, and energy. As we progress, I provide stability and reassurance, accompanying you through the process of coming to know yourself, and the world which creates you, differently. When we're ready, we ask if there are changes you want to make in how you act in this world.

I see my most important activity as giving my attention and empathy to clients in order to build self-knowledge and self-compassion. These create a foundation for personal change. I draw on social theory to help me understand the struggles and rewards of daily life. I employ a range of techniques from humanistic, psychoanalytic, somatic, behavioural, and cognitive traditions in therapy.
