About My ClientsTherapy carries the potential to help you grow, clarify, and become more fully yourself. I offer a safe place where you get to be seen and be heard, take time for yourself, and have a trained helper on your side. As your therapist, I am here to help you discover whatever it is you are looking for, including ways of healing, moving through conflicts, difficulties, patterns, or frustrations.

About MeI'm a not-so-traditional-therapist for not-so-traditional-humans.
I spent years developing an understanding of mental health through traditional sciences: neuroscience (brain-based interactions), endocrinology (hormones), and genetic-predispositions. Unsatisfied curiosities led me to discover and deeply explore meditation, yoga, Reiki (body, mind, and energy-based healing practices) and counselling psychology. Ultimately I became an alternative and eclectic, herb-smudging, shadow-loving, Jungian. Maybe it was the frustration of confronting endless cycles of masking symptoms, without daring to delve deeper; or maybe it was the urging of a hopeful spark of wanting a community that feels whole, healthy, and supportive. Whatever the reason, I have committed myself to creating a culture of living authentically and integrally with the unknown. I primarily root myself in depth psychology, and integrate elements of Wisdom Traditions, person-centered, mindful, arts- and somatic- (body-) based approaches, with a touch of cognitive-behavioural influence. Most importantly, I endeavour to work collaboratively with each client to tailor a treatment and therapy approach that feels "right" for the unique relationship between therapist and client. |
