How I Practice
My Approach
Trauma-Informed Counselling
Trauma-Informed Counselling
The beauty of trauma-informed counselling is that it incorporates how your past experiences shape how your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and nervous system work. By acknowledging the impacts of trauma, we’re creating a space built on compassion so healing can begin.
EMDR
EMDR
EMDR is focused on helping you look back at times difficult times in your life and reprocess the emotional impact those memories have on your everyday life.
Talk Therapy
Talk Therapy
Tired and true, talk therapy creates a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and work through your experiences. This approach is used on its own or in combination with other approaches.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy
Sometimes the way to heal from your experiences is to connect your mind and body. Somatic therapy brings together your mind and body in a way designed to allow you to recognize and regulate the physical effects that stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm have on your body.
Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy
Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy
Culture and community play a role in the health of indigenous peoples. IFOT brings together mindfulness and cultural humility with body-based practices that help you connect with your inner wisdom to support your healing journey.
Strengths-Based Therapy
Strengths-Based Therapy
If you’re here, that’s something to celebrate. Oftentimes, we forget that we possess the resilience and inner resources to navigate life’s toughest moments. And that’s where strength-based therapy comes in. I weave this into our sessions to remind you of your own abilities to move past your experiences.
Let’s Reclaim your Story.
Before you book your session, I recommend starting with a conversation. That’s why I offer 15-minute complimentary sessions. My goal is for you to feel confident that I’m the right therapist to guide you through your thoughts, emotions, behaviours or physical responses to what has happened in your life.
While we won’t dive deep in a consultation, we can use the time to get to know each other so that I can help determine the best way forward for you.
If this sounds good, feel free to book a session either online or in person in my office in Victoria.
