One of my favourite teachers posed the question: What is the Best Use of Me? In my journey, I’ve found that this – counselling – is the best use of me. I am interested in the depths of human experience. I believe in everyone’s potential to grow, heal, and change for the better. I find it easy to care. Therapy is a collaboration. You bring the expertise of having lived your life. I bring the expertise of training, study, and experience working with a wide range of people.
The cornerstone of this work is trust and safety. I invite you to let me earn your trust as we unpack together the things that trouble you. I am committed to sex-positivity, to destigmatizing sexuality, and helping people gain security and confidence in themselves, and with their partners.
Whether you’re monogamous, polyamorous, non-monogamous, or somewhere in between, I am happy to work with you on your goals. I work with couples using Emotionally Focused therapy that emphasizes understanding, attachment, communication, and deep connection. I also work with individuals who are looking to understand themselves better.
Whether you’re struggling with past trauma, depression, anxiety, or loss, I want to be there. I understand that abuse or neglect can negatively impact us in the present. I’m not afraid to go there with you and help to tame the dragons of the past.
Outside of Therapy: I’m an avid plant-lover, both indoor and outdoor, including a dwarf lime-tree that is my pride and joy. I love playing videogames with my partner or friends. I’m an avid consumer of science-fiction. To keep my body active, I have done martial arts for years, with a current focus on boxing. Lastly, to keep the music alive, I’ve recently joined a choir.
