Counselling and Psychotherapy, RCC, MSc
Life’s hardships can break us into pieces. We may feel like we want to throw in the towel. We might lose our trust in ourselves. We might be oppressed, feeling depressed. We might feel lonely. We might be going through major transitions, grief, or heartbreak.
But no matter how hard life gets, there is always a path to freedom. Therapy provides a space to rediscover your strength, face challenges with courage, and cultivate the trust you need to move forward.
Drawing on my own experiences and professional training, my approach to individual counseling is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and inclusive of diverse identities and experiences. Together, we can:
-
Unpack the weight of past traumas and their impact on your present.
-
Cultivate a compassionate relationship with yourself, even in the face of pain.
-
Build tools to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
-
Discover new ways to embrace freedom, balance, and fulfillment in your life.
When we can learn to cultivate a compassionate and curious attitude to ourselves, to our traumas, to our past, we can finally go to pieces without falling apart.
"I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one's center of life inside of one's self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity - to decorate one's inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone."
Edith Wharton
