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. 

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.  That life transition that feels SO big and overwhelming? Let’s get curious about all of that! I will ask lots of questions, discuss what may be holding you back, where you may be stuck, maybe share a story that will help you make sense of some things 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.

Together we can create Inspired New Beginnings….
