Are you feeling overwhelmed or hopeless? Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you are running in circles, trapped in a maze, opening doors that lead you back to where you started. This can be exhausting - draining energy without making any perceived progress. Eventually even the thought of exploring the maze can make you feel tired, anxious, or overwhelmed. We were not meant to face these struggles alone and I would be honoured to join you in deeply exploring your experiences. You know yourself better than anyone else. You are the expert, and my approach to therapy involves empowering you to recognize and build upon your existing

If you’re dealing with a recent loss, having a hard time processing tough news, or if past trauma feels like it's affecting your everyday life, you’re not alone. You might also be trying to break away from old family patterns or figure out who you are apart from what others expect from you. Balancing these heavy emotions with daily responsibilities can be really challenging. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, and it’s important to reach out for support when you need it. Taking care of yourself while working through these issues is a big part of the process.

You're branching out - maybe you've started school or moved away from home, and you begin to realize that not all families function like yours.... sound familiar? This 'aha' moment can bring about all sorts of confusion and hurt about the way that we were raised. At Everworth Counselling, I help young adults who grew up in chaotic homes, with emotionally immature parents, and/or with childhood trauma to better understand their upbringing, how it impacted them, and where to go from here.

I work with individual adult clients who are interested in exploring new ways to understand and meet the challenges in their lives. My approach is psychodynamic; through in-depth dicussion in a supportive relationship, we focus on better understanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, both conscious and unconscious. We consider early life experiences and how they have shaped your sense of self and ways of relating to others. I see therapy as a mutual effort, between therapist and client, to better understand someone’s anxieties and struggles, and to support them in figuring out what they want.

Difficult life experiences can have a profound effect on our health, at times creating blockages and tightly held patterns in our minds, bodies, and relationships. Learning to move through these struggles can be challenging - it can also be very freeing. With a genuine concern for your well-being, and a warm and compassionate approach, I work with you to help you connect with your higher self and draw forth the intuitive healer that is already within you. I integrate the art and science of psychology with spirituality and music in a way that is heartfelt and relatable.

Are your childhood wounding of caregiver misattunement, neglect and abuse causing challenges in daily functioning? Are you a parent who is battling intergenerational trauma and need support? You may have worked with therapists in the past who only focused on the trauma of “commission”, aka the overt acts of abuse, but did not address the subtler trauma of “omission/deficit” that lives in your nervous system, due to caregiver misattunement and neglect. Such traumatic experiences need neurobiological approaches that heals at a survival brain level that go beyond the “talk-only” approach and also addresses deficit trauma.
