“Tell me, what is it you plan to do/
with your one wild and precious life?”
~ Mary Oliver
What to expect
​Coming to counselling can feel daunting; it takes a certain vulnerability to share your innermost world with someone you don't yet know. You need to feel that you can be your authentic self without being judged, for it is in an environment of trust, safety, and nurturing that true growth can flourish.
​
I believe in creating a confidential, welcoming environment with access to materials that can support your nervous system to settle. You can expect me to be compassionate and caring, direct and practical, imaginative and playful.
Some mediums available to you include art supplies, making things with your hands, creating scenes with figures in the sandtray, engaging in story telling or letter writing, or simply having meaningful conversations that can help shed new light on your life.
​
Building Self Compassion
I will create opportunities for you to connect to your inner confidence and wisdom
Calming Stress & Anxiety
​​When the nervous system is heightened, anxiety can increase and lead to stress symptoms such as irritability, troubles sleeping, feeling "on edge." Together we will introduce your nervous system to new ways of being.
​
Supporting Grief & Loss
Grief and loss can come in many forms; from loss through death to job loss, relationship changes, and other life transitions. Expression of grief is a healthy part of a mourning journey.​​
