THERAPY, CONSULTATION

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
— Mary Oliver

Hello, and welcome! I am a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C), working primarily with adults who are seeking support with life’s challenges, or on a journey to better understand themselves and their experiences. My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens through genuine connection, by recognizing our patterns, and by exploring the emotions at the heart of our experiences. I have received training in Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), which is the foundation of my work. EFIT is a research-supported approach that helps people better understand their emotions, heal from past wounds, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others; it has been shown to be successful in helping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems. In addition to EFIT, I draw from humanistic, experiential, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based therapies. What this means to me, is that in session, my focus is on you and your unique lived experiences, as they come to affect you in the present day. I aim to help you hold and unfold these experiences gently, empathetically, and in the moment, with the belief that you have the innate capacity to change and grow.

Counselling – Adults

What I love about counselling:

I love getting to know people in an honest, real way. It’s a privilege to witness vulnerability, support self-discovery, and watch clients make meaningful changes that align with who they are. I find deep fulfillment in being a steady, curious presence as we explore what it means to be human together.
