I know it can feel like an overwhelming process to find the right counsellor, so thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I also know that when we do find the right fit, counselling can help us gain insight and perspective, and achieve positive personal growth. The relationship between the client and therapist creates the foundation for change, so I strive to build trust, rapport, and mutual respect with my clients. The way you and I interact together will be the practice ground for the skills that will help to improve your own personal relationships - the most important being your relationship with yourself.
I take a relational, somatic, and psycho-educational approach. We will pair the "what & why" of your feelings with what is happening physiologically in the body and neurologically in the brain. In addition to moving forward, we will also move deeper. From here, we can give ourselves the compassion and understanding needed to move towards how we WANT to feel.
The goal is for you to feel more confident in knowing and understanding yourself, and in your ability to practice self-regulation, helping you to feel consistent and grounded through life’s challenges. Previous to my work as a therapist, I worked as a sexual health educator and am at ease talking about more intimate topics.

I work with clients using a trauma-informed approach. Most people don't believe that trauma therapy applies to them, often saying "my situation isn't that bad". But trauma therapy is a style of therapy that is appropriate for everyone. In our first few sessions we will explore this idea, connect it to your experience and the way you're feeling now, and start working towards how you WANT to feel.

My sessions are conversational and curious; I ask A LOT of questions that help us make sense of why you're feeling the way you are, and to help you gain clarity around how you want to move forward. I often use humour, candour, and always genuine care. Because our moods and energies are always changing, every session is unique - always tailored to what you need on that specific day.
