My view is that therapy is a tool that can support us in making healthy life changes, and at the root lies the most important mechanism for this change - the therapeutic relationship. When I first started my work in the field of counselling and therapy, I experienced first-hand the incredible value of sitting down with someone and bearing witness to their life experiences. It was in these experiences, where I observed my clients being able to re-shape their narratives of themselves, work through a difficult emotional experience, and develop more adaptive tools to navigate life. In my ongoing work, I continue to be reaffirmed in this truth that basic humanness – compassion, warmth, and acceptance, are crucial components in the work that I do. 

 

I have a passion for working with adult clients who have been affected by trauma and continue to struggle with the impact that their traumatic experiences have marked in their lives. Traumatic experiences can leave a devastating effect by hijacking our brain and bodies, causing us to live in the memory of what we went through. Through a personal and integrative approach, we can work together to support you towards discovering stability in the here and now, and by reducing the life-interfering influence that your painful memories can have in your life. 

 

My goal is to always provide the safe container to facilitate your healing journey. This involves appreciating that each person comes as a unique and whole being in their own right, and therefore tailoring my approach based on the needs of each of my clients. From this container, we will not only work on breaking the chains of the past, but also strive towards defining meaning and purpose in the next chapter of your life.
