Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Psychotherapist)
My counselling approach is integrative, relational, and anti-oppressive, drawing from theories of attachment, neurobiology and trauma. I primarily use internal family systems, as well as various models including emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and narrative. I seek to build from your strengths, highlighting your own internal sources of wisdom. I provide information about trauma responses to make sense of needing survival coping strategies through challenging past experiences, as well as viewing these as acts of resilience. I will help you build internal resources for shaping your nervous system, moving from protection to connection. I will support you in setting healthier boundaries, clarifying your values and building agency to move towards creating the life you desire. I recognize the importance of context and socio-cultural influences as well as how we stand up to these outside forces. I provide a warm, empathic, accepting space to build a safe therapeutic relationship, collaborating on how to best meet your goals for therapy. I will be a witness and guide, alongside you in your journey of self-exploration, healing and growth. I greatly respect the courage it takes to seek help, willingly exploring your most vulnerable and painful parts, while trusting in the transformation that can come from the therapy process. I bring over 15 years of experience working as a registered nurse, where I have supported people in many difficult circumstances and walks of life. I have a non-pathologizing and holistic understanding of mental health challenges. As a therapist I am dedicated to continuous learning, professional development and receive regular individual as well as group supervision. I am also personally committed to my own ongoing journey of growth, self-reflection and healing.
