I’ve come to believe through my own healing journey and education that each person has inside them a unique form of personal wisdom and an authentic way of being. Yet, over the course of life, the mistreatment, abuse, and trauma that we experience can obscure/limit our access to these internal resources.
I myself have weathered trauma, paralyzing anxiety, and deep, dark depressions. I know what it feels like to be buried underneath the weight of thoughts, emotions, and self-destructive behaviours. Thankfully, with the right mental health support, state-of-the-art techniques, and a deeply felt willingness to heal, I was able to emerge from those dark places, and enter a life of connection, purpose, and love.
The painful, beautiful experience of transcending many of my own struggles is why I believe counselling offers great value – – and it’s why I’m in the profession. Counselling aims to help others locate their truest selves, and, in doing so, live lives in health, joy, and clarity.
My purpose is to offer that kind of help to you.
Everyone is unique, and so are their needs. That’s why my treatment plans are crafted with your unique values, strengths, and circumstances in mind. I use a number of evidence-based techniques and strategies, including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, internal family systems, and EMDR. I look forward to speaking with you!
