What to Expect

Counselling is a collaborative, compassionate process—one that unfolds at your pace.

Creating a sense of safety is foundational to my work. Together, we begin by building a trusting therapeutic relationship where your voice, choice, and boundaries are always honored.

My approach is strength-based and client-centered. You remain the expert on your own experience. Sessions are guided by curiosity rather than judgment, and by respect for your nervous system’s wisdom.

I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs, including:

• Somatic Experiencing (SE) — a body-based approach that supports nervous system regulation and helps gently release stored stress and trauma

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work — a compassionate method of exploring protective and wounded parts of yourself to foster healing and inner harmony

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — an evidence-based approach using eye movements to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity

• Compassion-focused practices

• Mindfulness-based approaches

• Cognitive and emotion-based tools when helpful

Through this work, clients develop awareness of their nervous system, early trauma adaptations, and attachment patterns. They learn the practice of self-compassion—an essential skill that can reduce stress and anxiety, increase emotional resilience, and foster a deeper sense of safety within.

I am continually moved by the courage it takes to grow, heal, and transform. It would be an honour to walk beside you.
