Where Healing Leads to Hope
You’re struggling to find someone you can feel comfortable to connect with you, and listen to your story. You don’t want someone to sit there and only listen, but you don’t want someone talking at you, nonstop. Finding the “right” counsellor can be overwhelming! Whether you are looking for individual or couples counselling, empathy and connection heal, and they are at the heart of my work.
Human beings are wired for healing.
You have wanted to begin your counselling experience for awhile, but it’s overwhelming. Perhaps shame from the past has kept you from reaching out…because shame isolates.

Walking beside you, gently helping navigate the hard moments, and processing those is where I do my best work with clients.

Your experience is deeply valid. It affects you and your relationships, and you might want to undo some of the aloneness you feel because of it. Doing this work together brings relief. You can heal from hurt.
You are wired for healing.
Often, what you have gone through has shaped how you experience life. With this in mind I, use trauma-informed frameworks including both emotion-focused, attachment approaches. I will keep you present and grounded, to safely heal from your wounds. With this in mind, I approach clients with empathy, knowing these are at the heart of connection and healing. The approaches I use are gentle, safe, profoundly lasting ways to heal from past wounds.
I believe it takes incredible courage and vulnerability to begin to healing.
You are hardwired for connection…as humans, we all are. The disconnection that happens can feel lonely. As you begin to (re)connect with parts of yourself, and heal from your trauma, you’ll notice what feels true, right, and authentic to you. This will bring glimmers I believe to be joy, relief, truth. I believe these usher in hope. With these, you can live a wholehearted life.
Hope comes in feeling seen and in experiencing belonging. It’s cultivated through little moments of curiosity, vulnerability, and courage. Through words, tears, silence, and yes, maybe even a little laughter…hope and healing shine their light into the darkness.
