My work with people is rooted in the belief that we all have the strength and wisdom within ourselves to make the changes we wish to see. Within the context of a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship, new ways of being can emerge. Living more fully aligned with our values and increasing our awareness of unhelpful patterns can allow us to live a more meaningful, vibrant, and joyful life. By working collaboratively with you at your own pace, I can support you in expanding your self-awareness and changing the maladaptive beliefs or behaviours that are getting in the way of living the full and rich life that you imagine.
I believe we feel the most alive when we are fully engaging with our own experience. Whether our feelings and sensations are dark or pleasant, they offer us important information to help better understand ourselves and the world around us. Through exploration, acceptance, and expression, healing and growth can happen and our life can be more meaningful.
My rich professional and personal experience allows me to work well with a diverse range of issues and populations. However, I have a strong passion for exploring the ways our early experiences impact our lives as adults. I also have my own journey through loss and healing which has given me an exquisite understanding of the complexities of grief.
