About Me

I am not your typical counsellor, and well, I don’t want to be! I'm real. I'm approachable. I have a potty mouth too. And I don't think therapy should be some stale, clinical, sterile experience. Think of it more like a session with your good friend, a friend that can hold a safe space for you to unpack all your stuff.  Have a cry, yell, get mad, maybe even plot revenge with (just kidding?...)and then offer supportive, direct, honest and collaborative feedback.  I’m not afraid to talk about the hard, awkward stuff and I’m not also afraid to challenge you. 

I got you.

Judgement has no place in therapy. Period. I am honored you choose to trust me, so no way am I going to tarnish that and ruin the therapeutic relationship with judging you. 

Working with me will be a team effort, laying out all the pieces of your life and then looking at the big picture together.  I will be curious and ask lots of questions, discuss what may be holding you back and then I’ll help you put all the pieces back together again to form the picture you set out to draw for yourself in the first place.  We’ll talk about what has been happening in your life lately, how that may be affecting you and your important relationships.  We will explore your family origins (after all, it’s our family that messes us up to begin with…. Just kidding?...), talking about your childhood, relationships, career and significant events that have occurred.  Sometimes we will just talk about that trip you want to take, your weekend away or how wine with girls was or even how the book that you are reading is going.

Understanding YOU and your world.  We’re all a bit messy.  It what makes us unique, special, different and always growing.  I love messy people.

Why I Chose Inicio…..

Inicio in Latin means Inspired and Beginning. It was a YES by everyone when Inicio was suggested. It also reflects my new beginning - changing careers, supporting others which inspires me to keep going when I want to give up. And I love doing the same in return for my clients.

Together we are all working towards an Inspired New Beginning - whatever that looks like for each of us as individuals.
