My Approach
My counselling approach is rooted in Narrative Therapy, where people’s rich stories and lives being restricted to a singular, problem saturated narrative is known to cause immense pain. In this worldview, healing comes from unearthing the multiplicity of stories and preferred identities and values, of ourselves and our communities. I am curious to get to know you and learn how to best support your unique hopes and intentions.
I have trainings and years of experience supporting clients in cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapy. I have sought out trauma-specific counselling knowledge and trainings to better support my clients and offer an experiential and evidence-based trauma processing therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Through Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), I support people with complex trauma backgrounds to build awareness, compassion, and shift their relationships to traumatized parts of themselves.
My counselling values are being client-centered, anti-oppressive, strengths based, and trauma informed.
