How Can I Help You?


Every single human being deserves a safe space to heal from their traumas, to recharge from all that their life experiences have taken away from them, and to feel empowered enough to tell their stories in their most authentic voice.



Here, I will explore your past as well as your present, in order to cultivate a more authentic future that is in alignment with your values and hopes. I work in a holistic manner, with the mind, body and spirit, drawing from Contemplative Traditions, blending them with Neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Psychology, CBT and Narrative Therapy to do deep work.





Our emotional life occurs in the body, and in order to create lasting change, we need to work towards accessing the body’s wisdom and stories. In this regard, I will help you become more self-aware, and work with your traumas to slowly dissolve emotional pain and stuck-ness. My practice is inclusive and queer affirmative.
“My approach to counselling is very personable and collaborative. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I am here to work with you. I do that by creating an accepting and non-judgmental environment where you feel understood, seen, and listened to. I tailor each person’s sessions based on their unique needs and areas of concern. Healing through therapy allows for growth and self-compassion at your own pace. Although you cannot change your past, trauma does not have to define you.

Therapy no longer

has to be this mysterious process. I work to demystify the therapeutic process and work transparently with my clients on how to live intentionally. Living intentionally comes with work. Deep work. Challenging yourself in ways you may not be completely comfortable with at first.

The other part of my practice is meeting you where you are at. We’re not always ready to nosedive into the deepest part of the ocean. Trying new things and making long-term changes takes time. My role is to hold space while providing you with tools to befriend yourself and all of your emotions. It is also to encourage you to give yourself permission to move at a slower pace, in order to eventually find your flow and thrive.”

PSYCHOTHERAPY?

WHAT IS
PSYCHOTHERAPY?


Psychotherapy (while sounding complex), is simply time set aside to work on yourself. It is a space for healing, reflection, and a deep dive into your being. In this fast-paced world, therapy allows you to take a moment to yourself to slow down, gain insight, and cultivate the confidence to become the most authentic version of yourself. Like planting and tending to a garden, Therapy involves methodical attention, small steps and the hard labour of digging, spading, pruning, watering, mulching etc. Therapists, like good gardeners are both practical and visionary. We do not expect to transform a space overnight but do so with consistent work, creating, or rather uncovering, a space of beauty that already exists within you.
