I have always been drawn to working with people; I did so initially as a teacher and youth worker. On further reflection, I realized that I wanted to go deeper in supporting people emotionally. I discovered how healing it can be to share parts that we usually keep hidden due to shame and fear of judgment. Due to my own journey in therapy and through my close relationships, I discovered I wanted to provide this therapeutic experience to others. Almost two decades after making the decision to become a therapist, I'm confident this is my calling!
I used different trauma-informed therapy approaches in my work, including mindfulness, parts-work, attachment-based therapy, self-compassion based therapy and humanistic/existential therapy. I'm not only focused on symptom reduction. My experience is that growing self-understanding leads to seeing beyond the symptoms to our unmet and often unseen needs.
