Description
As a counsellor, getting to know people and hear their stories and perspectives is an honour and a gift. I believe that people have the innate wisdom and ability they need to help guide them in their particular healing journey. My approach is to meet you wherever you may be in that journey, and support you through a combination of conversation, tools, and as much (or as little) structure as you need. I often draw on attachment theory, as well as trauma-informed approaches (EMDR, mindfulness, somatic, and EFT) and behavioural therapies (acceptance, CBT, solution-focused), among others.

Summary
Everyone walks this earth with their own stories & histories and perspectives. As a counsellor, getting to know people & hear these thoughts is an honour and a gift. My approach is to meet you wherever you may be in that journey, and support you to help you make sense of whatever you’re dealing with. My approach is also person-centered & rooted in connection and trust, as everyone’s needs and goals differ. I often draw on attachment theory, as well as trauma-informed approaches (EMDR, mindfulness, somatic, and EFT) and behavioural therapies (acceptance, CBT, solution-focused), among others.
