“When we deny the story it defines us, when we own the story we can write a brave new ending”

Brene Brown

My Approach

I offer individualized counselling to adults and young adults based upon a belief that although we all suffer, we are not defined by it. We can heal and move beyond this suffering and thrive in our life.

 I have experience working with:

  • Addiction

  • Trauma

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

  • Addiction and trauma concurrently

  • Burn-out and Vicarious Trauma

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Other Mental Health Disorders

  • Grief and loss

  • Loneliness

  • Life transitions

  • Suicide

  • Gender and Sexual Identity

Each individual requires a unique approach. I work collaboratively with each person to develop goals that work for where they are in their life.

The following are therapies, philosophies and modalities that I use in my work:

  • Eye Movement, Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Body-based therapies such as Somatic Experiencing and Sensori-motor Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy,

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Psycho Dynamic Approach
