Description
Therapy with me and my team at Levity Counselling is authentic, connected, and informal. I help people learn about what the heck their brain is doing and why, and find new ways of relating to themselves. Me and my team work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach. We value lived experience over what we've read in a book or learned in a course. I use emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion most often in my work. My hope for each person I work with is this: that you feel understood, safe, and nurtured. Also, laughter is so important in the therapy room.
