Provider information

Description

Our lives each contain moments of great joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, opportunity, and obstacle. My hope is to create a space where it is possible for you to explore the experiences which have shaped your emotional responses and empower you to identify who and how you want to be. We work together to create self-awareness and new understanding of what is happening inside of you. I'm a trauma-informed counsellor with a person-centered approach. I use a variety of theoretical orientations AEDP, ACT, & IFS to name a few. I invite you to book a FREE 15 min consult to see if we're a good fit!
