I am a registered clinical counsellor offering individual, relationship and couples counselling, divorce coaching, and some mediation. Using and extensive tool kit of knowledge and experience, I commit myself to helping you grow beyond your current personal and relational struggles toward good relationships and a satisfying life. I can help with: • Relational conflict and communication skills to recover and deepen intimacy in key relationships •Relationship styles and creating new dialogues •Barriers to life satisfaction and emotional intimacy such as trauma, attachment issues, and more.
My counselling is relational, emotional-focused and client centered, influenced by my mediation and coach training, trauma-informed, and incorporates cutting edge modalities based in mindfulness and interpersonal neurobiology. I help people to address deep trauma, and integrate difficult experiences in order to heal and grow.
I come to the counselling with humility and curiosity, embodying a "same-as" -no better-no worse- approach that ensures empathy and safety for your best therapeutic experience. I draw from a deep well of learning and life experience. I can walk beside you while you discover what you need to recover.
