I get it:
I understand what it’s like to feel your identity shifting with age, life events, and trauma. I know the pain of meeting grief and finding nothing makes sense anymore and feeling the longing of a loved one. I know how anxiety can take over the body and stop you from living peacefully and freely. Or how an internal voice wants everything to be perfect.
I know what burnout feels like. I’ve seen the thick fog of depression, making it feel like joy is worlds away. I know what it’s like to move to a new country and start a life— the funny awkward moments, and the stressful overwhelming ones. I resonate with having a creative and sensitive spirit and all that comes with this path. I know what it’s like to cultivate a relationship with plant medicine and want someone to guide you through the process.
I know what it’s like to be in the seat as therapist and navigate the ever evolving nature of this role. I know what it’s like to challenge systems and get reacquainted with ancestors, indigenous roots, and lineage.
How we work together:
I see your struggles and there are tools to support you to move through this with tenderness, curiosity, and support. I’ve seen the mixture of Internal Family Systems, Somatic Practices, tending grief, and getting in rhythm with the living world to support hundreds of clients. Together, we will weave together these practices so you may find more internal clarity and relief.
We will collaboratively create a set of intentions so there is a clear roadmap for our time together. We sit together at a pace that meets you exactly where you are.
I work from a de-colonial and non-pathologising framework, one that honors lived experience, recognizes how disconnection and fragmentation can be legacies of colonization. Together, we explore how your story is woven with broader cultural, relational, and historical threads, not just individual symptoms.
Many people leave our work together with more awareness of themselves (body, heart and mind), contributing to more confidence, clarity around their priorities, more self empowerment, and better able to show up for themselves and others with integrity and care.
Finding the right therapist is essential. I offer a free 20 minute complimentary consultation so we can see if we fit well. If it is not the right match, I am happy to share trusted referrals.
