I believe that each us carries inherent goodness inside of us, and sometimes we can become stuck. As a therapist, I see my role as creating a space where you can feel supported to explore the parts of you that are hurting and also to nurture your own inner compassion and wisdom. Working from a non-pathologizing approach, I believe that all behaviour meets a need. The work of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of what purpose protective mechanisms like addiction, anxiety, and self-harm have played in your life, and what you need to feel supported to grow and change.
Operating from a humanistic and trauma-informed lens, I incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to help clients connect with injured parts, re-story traumatic experiences, and develop coping skills to navigate the turbulent waves of life.
It is so important to work with a therapist with whom you can feel safe and comfortable! Feel free to reach out to me for a free 30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
