The Framework that Guides Me
I consider my role as a therapist - to be a guide, a spaceholder and a fellow traveller.
My work is deeply relational — centring the therapeutic connection as the foundational element of healing and growth.
I weave together Western Clinical techniques with Indigenous teachings - regarding healing as nonlinear, interconnected, explorative, compassionate and holistic.
I hold a critical and feminist lens on culture and systems and recognize how the outside world has a direct influence of our inner landscape.

“Your healing process is as unique as your finger print. There is no one 'right' way to heal; together, we will weave old and new practices to find the path that belongs only to you”

WE APPROACH OUR lives on different trajectories, each of us spinning in our own separate, shining orbits. What gives this life its resonance is when those trajectories cross and we become engaged with each other, for as long or as fleetingly as we do. There’s a shared energy then, and it can feel as though the whole universe is in the process of coming together. I live for those times. No one is truly every “just passing through.” Every encounter has within it the power of enchantment, if we’re willing to look for it.
