What informs my work is a deep reverence for the human experience, in all of its complexity and mystery. It is an immense privilege to walk alongside others in deepening their relationship to self and other, and in making meaning of their lived experience.

I believe therapy changes people because it creates a space where you are able to pause and turn toward yourself in a way that is not often easily accessible in the pace of everyday life. It offers a unique relational context, one that can foster growth, reflection, and meaning-making within a safe and non-judgemental container. A space where it is possible to be messy, imperfect, and to learn through experience.

I have come to understand healing as a lifelong process rather than something with a clear endpoint. Since we are always in states of change—as are the systems and environments we are a part of—there is an ongoing need to tend to both the inner and outer world throughout all seasons of life.

My orientation toward the mind, body, soul, and spirit is that they are deeply interconnected and must be understood with nuance and care. I hold the personal and intrapsychic, the transpersonal and existential, and the ecological and structural dimensions of experience as equally essential to the work. None can be fully understood in isolation from the others. I understand people's experiences through the lenses of intersectional feminism, transgenerational trauma, and the systems and structures we live within.

My work draws primarily on depth, transpersonal, and ecopsychological orientations, with IFS and parts work, somatic awareness, and EMDR as the primary approaches within that framework. I also hold certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (psilocybin) through TheraPsil. See Framework & Orientation to learn more about the above perspectives and lenses.

The approaches I am drawn to are ones that honour the complexity and depth of lived experience. Ones that make room for the mind-body relationship and resist the pull toward quick resolution. Healing, in my view, is rarely linear and rarely fast.

I understand therapy as a dynamic process that can bring forward material you may not have been consciously aware of. Because of this, the journey often takes longer and looks different than initially expected.

I believe change is an ongoing part of being human. Resistance to change only creates more to be held later on. Change that emerges through compassion, patience, presence, persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to be uncomfortable creates space for an authenticity and integration that feels sustainable over time.

What I hold most deeply in my work is the belief that anyone is capable of change when supported in the right conditions. There is no such thing as too late, too broken, too much, or not enough. Every person deserves a space where they can bring forward all parts of themselves without fear of rejection or loss—regardless of their history or story.
