Let’s Connect
“If you beam the light of your attention to me, I blossom. If you see great potential in me, I will probably come to see great potential in myself. If you can understand my frailties and sympathize with me when life treats me harshly, then I am more likely to have the strength to weather the storms of my life… In how you see me, I will learn to see myself.” - David Brooks

Just like it's ok that we're not friends with everyone, it's also ok that your last therapist might not have been a good fit for you. My style may or may not resonate for you either. Remember that this is your journey, you get to be the captain of your ship and decide who you want as your crew. It can feel like taking a big risk, choosing the right person to work with you. Whether you choose me or someone else, know that I honour your decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can see my entire process here.
-
Absolutely not! While you don’t owe it to me to let me know that you did not resonate with my approach I hope you will feel comfortable discussing this with me. You have the right to considerate, safe and respectful care, without discrimination as to race, ethnicity, colour, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, or source of payment. I am happy to support you in achieving your goals and finding a better fit.
-
I have years of working with children through Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy and Art Therapy. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the younger children, but while my own children are similar age, I am choosing to set boundaries in separating work and home life at this time. However, my experience with working with children allows me to provide guidance to parents if you are seeking for parenting support. If you have children under 14 and below who could benefit from therapy, I am happy to make some recommendations of therapists in the community who can.
-
Not at this time. However, if you have access to funding through your Band or able to access private therapy, I would be honoured to work with you.
-
I reserve limited seats of sliding scale to those with a financial hardship as a way to give back to my community. Please contact me if this is something you are interested.
