My Approach 

You might wonder how one counsellor can fully carry everything you're carrying with you. I know how much that worry can impcat decision making. 

Here are some of the themes I work with regularly and robustly:

​

* Substance use and abuse

* Anxiety, stress, overwhelm

* Depression, sadness, hopelessness

* Feelings of shame, guilt, low self-worth

* Reproductive mental health

* Preparation and integration of psychedelics

​​​

​

​

My approach knits many different threads. But, the essence of my work is committed to a trauma-informed and relational practice. ​​

​

What does this mean?

​* I hold a deep understanding of how trauma impacts your whole system including thoughts or beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. 

​

* I aim to de-pathologize. Shifting from what is "wrong" with you to focus on what you are experiencing. 

​

* I am gentle, curious, collaborative, and often playful. 

​

* We will strengthen your resources so you can stay regulated during therapy and as you move through the world.
