What to expect in sessions
You can expect a steady, nonjudgmental space to land and be yourself, to discover and be explored, to celebrate and be human. Our conversations will be collaborative, reflective, and flow at a pace that honours what feels most important to you in the moment. Whether it be a long standing pattern or something more recent, you can bring it here.
Together, we will delve into your experiences and look beneath the surface of your nervous system responses so the way is paved for you to shift from abandoning your needs in relationships to feeling safe being yourself and secure even when someone doesn’t text you back.
I believe in each human’s innate ability to heal and counselling can help you tap into this inner wisdom and leave you feeling empowered. Through compassion, empathy, and connection, your inner resources can become illuminated and more readily available to you.

It is not to stop caring, become detached, emotionally unavailable, or completely independent.
It is to develop the type of relationship with yourself where you can not only recognize your needs, but communicate them, tolerate uncertainty, and make choices that are consistent with your values.
Over time, counselling can help you move from:
“What do I need to do to make them stay?”
to: “Is this relationship capable of meeting my needs?”
“Why am I not enough or too much?”
to:“Do I feel safe, valued, and respected for who I am?
“How do I make this work?”
to: “Is this actually working for me?”
It is a space meant to empower you so you can make decisions from a place of groundedness, and cultivate the type of certainty in yourself you know you can rely on.
