Your Therapy Journey is About You and Your Growth

My role is to help you discover and explore unique strengths you already possess, empowering you to navigate through life’s challenges, stresses, and storms, as I help you recognize and build upon your strengths.

Whether you are seeking assistance in making a life-changing decision, coping with intolerable anxiety, managing a difficult relationship, or resolving lifelong or chronic struggles, my integrated approach will help provide you with a compass to navigate uneven terrain.

The Way Forward

I have found a pathway to a deep and lasting peace that I believe is fully achievable by anyone who truly wants a way out of uncertainty, turmoil, fear, or any other place that restricts a sense of freedom, growth, and fulfilment.

We will work together, weaving in hope-filled strategies that build self-esteem and security within you.

My approach is client-centred, strengths-based, collaborative, and transformational, within an environment that is safe, accepting, compassionate, empathic, and encouraging.

Enhancing awareness of the mind-body connection, you will better recognize and respond to your own needs.

Tailored to Your Needs

I also offer the option of incorporating spiritual and/or faith-specific components, such as Christianity.

As each life stage comes with its own points of struggle, I will walk alongside you, customizing therapy to meet your specific needs and style, working at your desired pace.

If your goal is to achieve greater peace, grounding, and a sense of direction and empowerment, we will set the therapy compass to head in that direction.

Therapy can be brief or enduring, according to your needs and preferences.

My Integrated Approach

Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based, and Transformational

My work has a foundation of solution-focused brief therapy, into which may be cobbled healing components from various modalities and orientations that are trauma-informed, strengths-based, and transformational.

IFS (Internal Family Systems)

One transformational component I offer is IFS (internal family systems therapy), which helps individuals to know their own Self and the parts within themselves, in a more compassionate and connected way.

IFS is a healing component of therapy designed to remove stigma and pathology from a person’s identity. It fosters a sense of clarity, compassion, calmness, curiosity, connectedness, courage, confidence, creativity, choice, contentment, and enhances functional ability.

Just as in an external family all the individual family members are valid and important, so with IFS the internal parts of an individual are valued, affirmed, and nurtured. The outcome is often a deep sense of unburdening, overall peace and wellbeing, and self-empowerment.

Somatic (bodily) awareness and healing are highlights of this therapy that integrates/connects mind, body, soul, and spirit in a holistic experience.

Healing From C-19 / Pandemic Challenges

Many individuals are reeling from their experiences throughout recent years that are known as the C0vid-19 pandemic.

Many families have been fractured, with members feeling disenfranchised, throughout the ordeal.

Your experience is valid, and in this space you are free to bring to session any and all emotions you now hold, as we work to restore a sense of personal wellbeing amidst a shift in the world today.
