It is my honour and a privilege to work with persons who desire to change their life experience. I often meet clients at their most vulnerable point, when a connection with their inner resilience is lost and forgotten. It is one of the most rewarding experiences to be your partner in this journey forward to witness your learning, growth, and healing process. Our goal working together is to see you reclaim personal power and create the life you truly desire.
My approach is holistic, not just your mental health. The support I provide addresses your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well being, acknowledging that there needs to be harmony between all aspects of oneself to experience your fullest potential.
I use a person-centred approach to my therapeutic relationships. I strive towards creating an egalitarian relationship where we work together in partnership to meet your desired outcome. I provide a safe and empathetic environment. I foster a safe space to openly express your intimate thoughts and feelings free of any judgment.
My only agenda is working towards your established goals. My approach is very organic as each person and every situation has unique and individual requirements. However, a session will most likely contain cognitive (mental process, mind) and somatic (relating to the body) components. Somatic therapy is helpful because our experiences take place within the mind, and there is an emotional impact or imprint stored within the physical body. Left unaddressed, this can cause illness and disease. Some examples of somatic therapy are; breath-work, movement, sound, and supportive touch. Together we can discover how your thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences impact the body.

Other therapeutic modalities I use when appropriate are CBT, DBT, and mindfulness approaches. In addition to the traditional modalities, I have used nature therapy, meditations, and energy work.
I delight in working with folks who are willing to do the work and step into the sometimes uncomfortable aspects of inner-child and shadow work. Introspection is not an easy task; it can make us feel scared, ignorant, and unsteady. Working in partnership together can lighten the load. As we deepen our awareness and understanding of self, it creates more choices in responding and creating the opportunities on our life journey. It allows us to break old destructive patterns and to see the path forward with new focus and clarity. As we establish harmony within all aspects of the self, there is an increasing sense of purpose, aliveness, and power.
