Approach Description: Pause. Feel. Tune in. Welcome the triggers and feel into alignment with your true self. Your heart knows the way. I strongly believe that when we can go inward and create space to know and turn towards our true self, that this provides the ultimate platform for healing to take place. In my work with each client, I strive to provide a safe space that fosters this intuitive ability for growth and healing. One that brings you closer to your authentic self and a felt sense of inner alignment. At the same time, I hold high regard for the energetic presence that I bring to each session. This involves an empathic, trauma-informed and non-judgemental approach that is accepting and genuine with each client. I am a client-centred therapist and see each client as the expert of their own experiences, honouring the strengths that each client carries within them. This journey is particularly for those who feel at the whim of their emotions~ disconnected, lost, alone, anxious, overwhelmed, sad or depressed, stressed; and who feel a strong desire to shift their relationship to Self. There are often experiences of self-doubt, self-criticism, and a strong desire to feel better, to feel good enough. Patterns of using food (perhaps unknowingly) to cope and feel better may also exist. I specialize in working with women and Moms (age 25-45), including female youth/young women (age 16-24) wanting to address difficulties related, but not limited to: Life Transitions, Motherhood, parenting, Relationship to Self (self-esteem, self-worth), Interpersonal Relationships (partners, children, family members, colleagues ect.), Mood & Anxiety, ADHD, Stress, Emotional Eating, and Health & Nutrition. I work with conscious intention to see and hear you where you are today as we move collaboratively through therapy and draw from various therapeutic approaches to move towards desired goals. I uniquely offer holistic nutrition services alongside use of best-practice modalities. Some favourites include, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Emotion-Focused (EFT), Dialectical-Behavioural (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Somatic, Movement and mindfulness-based therapies like Mindful Emotional Eating (MEE). I believe that it is important to understand what is at the root of our problems, and can integrate nutrition to support and enhance biological, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. I invite you to connect with me to book your initial session, and to learn more about me and the work that I do on my website.
