What are your wildest hopes and dreams for counselling? Because you are here for a very important reason: seeking change, finding your preferred self, living your best life! And in your responses we will begin to hear what you won't stand for anymore, and what you want so much more of in your day. And perhaps most importantly: Why. I work alongside people to find their voice and live by their own values, not someone else's (and sometimes it's the voice of anxiety or depression that tries to speak the loudest!). Counselling is about the whole you, because problems do not exist alone, but always within the larger context of life.
My approach is grounded in Narrative therapy because I wholeheartedly believe in it. I have witnessed realizations, inspirations, and relief of unwanted symptoms in the lives of people who consult with me. Bring all that you've been up against and we'll be full of curiosity about what has been getting in the way of the kind of day you actually want to have.
I offer an attentive, purposeful and collaborative conversation centred around your unique experiences, and never one-size-fits-all. Anti-oppressive trauma-informed LGBTQIA2S+ BIPOC and trans affirming. Free consultation by phone or video. I look forward to talking with you!
