Description
I help people learn to forgive themselves for the things they had to do in order to survive. I also work with client's navigating dysfunctional family systems/narcissistic family members, who have chosen to go no contact to preserve their peace. I believe that when we feel safe in our body and free from the shackles of our past, we can create our dream reality. By creating a safe space to explore, we can set our inner child free - inviting playfulness, humour, and curiosity to the healing process. We are not what has happened to us, we are who we choose to become.

Summary
I have 15 years of experience dealing with addictions and understand how unresolved trauma can lead to substance abuse, unhealthy relationships and lifestyle, as well as mental health complications including anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. I understand that the healing process can be non-linear, messy, and overwhelming. I value consent, autonomy, safety, and stabilization in my practice and it is important to me that I meet my client's where they are at. You are the expert in your own life and I am here to guide you along the way.
