Does your life feel out of balance? Do you struggle to slow down? Are anger or sadness too present in your life? Is your child or teen struggling and you just don’t know how to help them? You are not alone. With 20 years of mental health counselling experience, I can confidently offer you a safe, and supportive space in which to explore and work through challenges. Sometimes we all hold on to issues longer than we need too - but in the context of a healthy therapeutic relationship, it is amazing how much healing can take place. When you feel ready, please reach out.
My approach towards healing has always been relational, strength-based, and multi-faceted. Trained in family systems theory and intersectionality, I have found it can also be helpful to incorporate Expressive-Play Therapies (including sand tray), alongside more traditional forms of talk therapy. This is especially helpful when trying to resolve trauma.
My integrative approach to therapy can help you move forward. My job is not to determine your path, but rather to support, witness, and encourage the journey. I offer a free 20 min consultation. This time can be used to get a better sense of who I am, my space, how I practice, and basically to explore if my counselling approach is a fit for you.
