Narrative Therapists in St John's, NL
Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead. That's when having the support of someone who listens without judgement and is fully present can be immensely helpful. That is the essence my counselling approach. My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.

Imagine a counselling service as the steady rhythm of ocean waves, gently guiding individuals towards self-discovery and growth. Rooted in a person-centered approach, I embrace the unique journey of every client, where empathy and understanding create a safe space for exploration. With a focus on strengths and goals, therapy can act as a lighthouse, illuminating inherent abilities and resilience, guiding clients through challenges with clarity and confidence. Like waves shaping the shore, counselling can mold lives, foster a deeper connection to oneself and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Life can quickly become so busy that everyday interactions become overwhelming obstacles, impacting your life in ways you may not even realize. I work to create a safe, non judgemental space where you can explore these issues and more, while learning how changes to your thoughts, actions, and feelings, can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. I also support your ability to tune into the present, exploring your felt senses as messages that your body is communicating to you. In this way, you regain control over things that could otherwise feel impossible.

Do you feel like you don't fit in and/or are watching the world through a window? Does life feel overwhelming and simple errands or hangouts with friends lead you to need a few days to recover? Are you looking to learn more about who you are, what you need to succeed, and how to live within your capacity? You've come to the right place! I work with queer and neurodivergent clients to answer those questions, explore identity, and cultivate relationships that work for you (whether it's a monogamous one or not)!
