How I can help you
The foundation of my approach is trauma informed, my job is to ensure you feel safe and cared for at every step in our therapeutic journey.
My purpose is to gently uncover patterns in your life that are no longer working for you. The cause of these patterns often lie beneath our awareness or consciousness so they cannot be changed. It is during our sessions that we can shed light on these issues and create a plan to move forward.
I am specialized in numerous therapeutic modalities, and with a decade of experience as a therapist, I can tailor our sessions with methods that would suit you best. Often my clients find it valuable to both address day to day concerns as well as to identify the root of ongoing issues. This deeper unpacking of your struggles can be connected to attachment wounding or a trauma memory. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialized and evidence based modality that is highly effective in processing trauma memories. I honour the bio-socio-spiritual nature of our lives and respect the mind body connection. Everything I do in our sessions is grounded in attachment theory and compassion.
Above all, I am human. I bring my genuine self into our sessions to authentically connect.
