About My Clients
I specialize in working with people who are seeking mental wellness, recovery from pain, trauma, and suffering. We break down shame, blame, guilt, “not good enough” and “shoulds” that get in the way of living your truth and authentic self.
My Background and Approach
I have training and experience in the following: animal assister therapy, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Brainspotting, and trauma-informed techniques. I believe human beings are incredibly creative. Everything makes sense when we put it into the context of our lives, beliefs, experiences, narratives, and cultural conditions. Issues arise when these learned behaviours and coping skills no longer work for us or are creating harm and chaos in our lives. This pain is the motivator for change and by understanding the things that have shaped our beliefs of the world, and ourselves and have forced us to find ways to cope; we can process through our mind, body and soul as we release the limiting beliefs that led us to destructive behaviours in the first place.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the skills they have. I believe we are all trying to heal and grow, that we want to be and seek to be the best versions of our authentic selves. We are influenced by our upbringing, cultures, histories and socio-political contexts that often send messages that are not congruent or approving of who we are. I believe we can heal, grow, connect and love and this is what we crave. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and believe that our identities in every respect are always evolving; this is the beauty of being human, of being alive. You deserve happiness, peace, and serenity. Let’s re-write your story together.
