What Can I expect?

When you embark on your counseling journey, I recognize that you are setting aside some of your most valuable resources - your time, your energy, your finances - to focus on healing and growth. Therefore, you get to choose the pace and frequency that we connect

I have found regularly scheduled sessions can be helpful at the beginning of the therapeutic relationship as we are co-creating the therapeutic experience, building our relationship and I am getting to know your story.

As your therapist, my role is to offer reflections, insights and resources for you to consider. I don’t view my opinions as the ultimate truth and I don’t want you to either. Each insight is an invitation to take what is helpful and leave what is not.

Different than a coaching experience, I won’t be telling you what to do, but helping you to find the path that is right for you.

We will work collaboratively to discover the best ways of communication, understanding and depth. I believe each person has their own inner healing wisdom, which we will work build a relationship with - this skill will guide us safely towards healing.

I do not offer my sessions in a linear fashion, instead, I prefer to let the dialogue unfold naturally, allowing it to meander where it may, and adapting to the direction you set.

Each session builds on the ones before. tying and connecting past experiences with current situations. My main goal is to offer a safe environment to uncover inner biases, values and strenghts.

As a holistic practitioner, I believe there is inherent value in “symptoms” and will encourage you to look at, be with and listen to the messages underneath the symptoms.

We will bring hidden thoughts and beliefs to the surface to see how they've helped you and what you can release.

I offer a slow pace and deep pace for those who are looking for a long-term connection with their therapist

A holistic framework sees everything as interconnected. Sometimes, when we focus on one area, an unexpected part of life gets better, or a new challenge may arise.

We'll focus on finding inner balance by shining light on what you are already doing, strengthening areas that you would like to work on and letting go of “shoulds”.

Healing happens through the relationship.

The therapeutic relationship counselling has been identified in research as the most important influence of positive outcomes in the therapeutic process, leading to eight times greater outcomes than any particular techniques or protocols.

Our ability to develop a close, trusting and intimate relationship holds the greatest weight to therapeutic change.

The very core foundation of therapy is built on human connection, intimacy, authenticity and safety. It is the meeting of the heart of two individuals, for the sole purpose of helping someone heal and thrive.

You are taking a risk every time you come to therapy, entrusting your therapist with parts of yourself that you might not share with others. This is a responsibility that I do not carry lightly, and it is one of the great honours of my work.

I am here to hold space, witness, and journey with you
