Formation spécialisée:
I am a Trauma-Informed and experienced practitioner of Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and guided meditation. I also draw tools from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My personal politic is firmly rooted in Anti-Oppressive Practice, and this extends into my work, as we draw connections between our personal struggles and larger systemic issues. I work in the areas of: simple and complex mental and physical health issues; substance use; identity (gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity); material struggles (class, education); ability and disability; and many other life experiences, lived realities and social positionings. I approach each and every individual with an openness and desire to learn about your unique story, desired therapy outcomes, and how specifically to be a good support person to ​you.
Déclaration personnelle:
As someone who also struggles and triumphs with a number of the “life things” that lead people to seek counseling, I find my work personally rewarding on many levels. Much of my learning and growth as a counselor undoubtedly comes from the great deal of sharing, witnessing, honoring, consulting and collaborating that we do together on a daily basis. I am deeply appreciative of and inspired by those whom I work with, and always compelled to strive for self betterment as a therapist. My attitude towards you is one of : Respect, for your agency, resourcefulness, talents and right to self-determination; Humility, recognizing that you are my teacher, my customer and my teammate, and that you hold infinite and unparalleled wisdom and knowledge about yourself and your own life; and Appreciation, for all that you share with me, and for the sheer privilege of being invited along to witness, accompany and support you on parts of your journey.
