Who in your life truly listens to you? I base my practice in deep listening. I believe in your own inner owl: the innate wisdom you have but just can't find right now. My role is to provide a safe, gentle, non-judgmental and confidential space to help you get in touch with your wisdom so you can live your fullest life.
I've come to believe that the purpose of suffering is to help us better understand ourselves, our relationships and life itself. I would like to help you break through to what life has in store for you next. Fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with us; at difficult points in our lives, we all developed coping strategies that helped us survive but now, these strategies get in the way. Let's work together to facilitate your healing and growth.

Approach Description: My approach is client-centred, meaning you're in charge of our agenda. From there, I use trauma-informed practices, such as Internal Family Systems and EMDR, to facilitate your healing. If you are want to explore personal growth or are wondering about the meaning of life, I use a combination of existential, Jungian and transpersonal modalities. For couples counselling, I am trained in Prepare/Enrich, which focuses on improving communication & conflict resolution; Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT); I also use some Gottman principles.
