You do not need to have it all figured out to come here. Maybe you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, deep in grief, or just carrying more than you know how to hold. You might not even know exactly what you need yet...and that's okay! In our work together, we will make space for all of it. Over time, you will notice a growing sense of clarity, more ease in your body, and a deeper trust in yourself. All small shifts that open the door to new possibilities.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN WORKING TOGETHER
My approach to counselling is rooted in your own strengths and capacity for growth. I believe in care that is brave, relational and unafraid of complexity. I draw from an integrative approach, combining modalities such as (intersectional) Feminist Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy.
My time as a hospice volunteer and training as an end-of-life doula has shaped how I show up as a therapist. I'm comfortable sitting with life transitions and the big, messy parts of being human.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a masters in counselling (MC), I use a collaborative approach to explore what is meaningful to you and move toward the direction you're hoping to grow into, at a pace that feels right for you.
There's room for both acceptance of where you are and hope for what's possible.
I love to support folks who...
Are moving through grief, loss, or a major life transition and are looking for ways to carry it with more meaning and compassion
Do not see healing as linear and are looking for an introspective, supportive environment
Feel "stuck" within depression &/or anxiety
Want to explore how to shed roles that no longer fit
Do not want to feel pathologized, but do want to see if they can feel different
I gather, work, and play on the unceded territory of the Stz’uminus First Nation, the traditional keepers of this land on Vancouver Island in Ladysmith. I am grateful to the Indigenous peoples who live on and care for these lands I call home.
At this time, I am offering sessions online using an encrypted video platform called Jane and am able to offer support to those living in British Columbia.
If you have any questions about how we can work together to support you with seeing the change you are looking for, I would love to connect. Please reach out and let's have a chat!
