There are times when life gets hard or shaken up, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, or lost reckoning with somethings we didn’t expect. There are also times when we simply get that nagging feeling that there’s something we want to address, and we may feel curious about what healing can look like for us. In this space, I embrace and support the diversity of experiences clients bring, however 'big' or 'small', whether the present or past. This can look like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma/intergenerational, navigating relationships, sense of self (self-worth, self-love, inadequacy, etc.), life transitions and loss.
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate and open space with you to share, delve deeper and integrate your experience. First we'll contextualize, and then I'll work with you using: relational, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, person-centered and strengths-based therapy, within a trauma-informed, anti-opp framework. Alongside skill-building and somatics.
You are already the expert of yourself and hold inherent wisdom. I honour this as we collaborate to support and empower your unique being, in therapy. Reaching out is a courageous act. I thank you for considering me to share this with you, and encourage you to reach out for a free consultation should you want to explore the possibility of working together.
