My Approach
Our work together will be collaborative, tailored to meet you where you are and allowing you to move forward at your own pace.
I take an integrative therapeutic approach that welcomes all parts of you into the healing process. I work holistically, towards integrating mind, body, emotion, and spirit, while also considering the social, cultural, and familial influences that shape your story.
I work with clients who are navigating challenges related to body image, and disordered eating. Also, I support individuals seeking support with life transitions, anxiety, trauma, boundaries, relationships, identity & self-esteem. My practice focuses on identifying limiting beliefs, fostering self-compassion, and cultivating new ways of being.
My practice integrates mindfulness and embodiment techniques with traditional talk therapy. I also draw from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, all within a trauma-informed, strength-based framework.
Just as the river winds through varied landscapes, our journey together could traverse a diversity of emotions and states of mind. I honour the natural ebb and flow of healing, embracing the tears, the laughter, and everything in between. Together, we will navigate and grow through the beautiful and sometimes messy moments along the way.
A little more about meβ¦
At home on the west coast of Vancouver Island, I love to explore coastal and forest trails, swim in any available body of water, backpack in remote places, and tend to my garden. I find solace and inspiration in nature; its beauty and transformative power grounds me, helps me stay connected to myself, others, and the world around me.
My lived experience has fostered a deep sense of empathy, and an appreciation for the complexities of the human experience. I continue to learn and evolve through this work, gaining new insights and expanding alongside my clients.
I am deeply honoured when someone shares their story with me, and I believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of safe, genuine relationships. I am committed to fostering these connections with my clients as they navigate challenges, discover their capacities, and flourish.
