“Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you are beneath what you carried to survive.” Whatever comes up during our sessions, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The most important element is trust and connection, which is why I offer a brief no‑charge consultation so we can discover whether we’re a good fit. My work blends modern therapeutic methods (psychodynamic therapy, trauma‑informed somatic work, hypnotherapy) with global and Indigenous‑informed modalities. We move at a pace your nervous system can trust. I’m interested in helping you un‑cover what you’re ready to know, restore balance in relationships (with yourself, others, and the living world), and build the capacity to meet life with clarity and heart. Healing is inherently relational—between self and body, self and others, self and community, and self and the living world. Therapy helps restore those relationships. However, like all approaches, they have their strengths and their limitations. For instance, as a counsellor that respects the Indigenous knowledge of this planet, one is a supporter in a shared experience of learning and growing, with assessments usually being completed by the person being helped. I use questions, storytelling, humour, modelling, and proven methods to raise your awareness of your wholeness and interrelationships within life. I use the healing power of hypnotherapy for connecting within ourselves: spiritual, mental, physical and mental. I use a two-eyed approach of both modern and ancestral knowledge when working. This further means that therapeutic ideas that limit both me and my clients by placing me as the final expert on my client’s lives, are not the final arbitrator of how I run my practice. What this looks like in my practice is that both you and I are in an alliance of curiosity to find the way forward.
