The foundation of my approach is about creating a safe and supportive environment. This will allow us to explore your concerns, develop a deeper understanding and cultivate the change you seek. I work with youth and adults who experience challenges related to anxiety, worry, stress, sadness, depression, feelings of self-doubt and shame, loss and grief, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, sexuality and intimacy, life transitions and decisions, and work/life balance. My values are deeply rooted in anti-oppression and I welcome individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, classes, races, cultures, abilities, and life-styles.
I draw from various theories and therapies to guide my work with you. Relational psychotherapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, feminist-based counselling and mindfulness are the basis of my approach. These terms may be unfamiliar to you and that is more than okay. What it means is that I value building a strong supportive relationship through empathy and attentive listening. I also highlight the importance of the mind body connection in our work. This may be through helping you to calm your nervous system, awareness of tension, or to understand and trust your body’s cues more fully. Being well versed in various approaches allows me to tailor our work to fit your needs and to be flexible as your needs may change over the course of our work.
The majority of my experience comes from working in community health care settings providing accessible, confidential, and equitable services to a diverse population of youth and adults. My aim is to create a space that feels accepting, is empowering and has lots of space for exploration. If you would like to know more please be in contact via phone or email and I am happy to offer a free consultation.
