I serve adults, children, families and couples working through the complex realities of our time. Do you have trouble finding belonging in community, to the Earth, and your life path? Do you feel hopeless and yet strive forward knowing there's something deep calling you? Do you believe in working towards peace, yet conflicts in your relationships continue as you struggle to find your way through? Do you struggle with self love, shame, feeling as though you can never do enough? Do you have a deep sense of integrity, but are filled with grief of a world that won't see you or support you? Do you feel alone in it all?
I utilize my training as a therapist with a foundation of 15 years as a rite of passage guide and student to several lineages of nature based healing traditions. My style is deeply impacted by the mentors and Elders I’ve had a the opportunity to connect with in my path. I approach clients with honour of who they are in their sovereignty and innate capacity.
I am here to be someone who can believe in you and hold trust in you while you build that trust in yourself. I will use my skills to help push the edges of your reality so you can feel alive in who you are again and take pride upon your path. Our wounds and gifts are deeply linked, and I am here to support you as you turn your challenges into helpfulness.
