Counselling Bio
Life is full of many demands and stressors making it easy to feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Sometimes we feel like we are drowning in our feelings and can’t deal with life. Or we feel like we can deal with problems but really struggle to feel life. Usually we want to be able to do both: feel AND deal with life, but feel ashamed when we are not able to do this. I view counselling as not only helping with processing what is hard and helping feel unstuck, but to help people thrive in their life and feel empowered and free.
In the journey of being a person it can often feel dark, lonely, and confusing. I consider it my deepest privilege to help another bear in the darkness, with safety, warmth, and compassion, to help them see light and work towards healing. My approach to counselling is personalized, collaborative, and accepting because I believe every person is unique and brings their own set of thoughts, feelings, and perspective to their experience of life.
Through empathy and meeting people where they are at, I work to come alongside people and support them in their journey of connecting to themselves and their unique position towards their experience of life, to help them not only heal, but to live a life they want to. My passion is to see people thriving in life by being able to fully engage with themselves, others, and the world, in a manner that is authentic and fulfilling to them.
Rooted in Authenticity
“Woodstock” was the name of my first school, a place that holds significant value to family and the roots of my story.
Woodstock Counselling is a space to hold you and your story.
Just like a tree needs the right conditions to grow, we also need safety, connection, and support to thrive.
Often times it can be hard to identify what we need to grow when we have learned to live and adapt without it.
My practice focuses on connecting you to your inner wisdom and core self in a way that undoes old patterns and moves you to what you value.
Growing to Thrive
Therapy isn’t only limited to navigating a crisis . It can also about connecting with the deepest parts of yourself, understanding your patterns, and discovering new ways of being that allow you to flourish today and in the life you want to live. My work centers on nurturing growth, healing what was wounded, and resourcing new possibilities through compassion, empathy, and genuine connection.
New To Counselling
If you’re new to therapy, it’s normal to have questions — What do I talk about? Will it feel awkward? How will this help?
Any time we do anything new, we feel these same feelings. Counselling isn’t about having everything figured out; it’s about having a place to explore what’s happening inside you with someone who can help you make sense of it.
If you’re not sure where to start, a free consultation can help you get a sense of what therapy feels like and whether we’re a good fit.
Meeting You Where You Are
Sometimes people come to counselling because they feel stuck or need support. Therapy can help you slow down and notice what’s happening underneath the surface, at a pace that fits for you. We might explore not only what’s happening in your thoughts, but also in your emotions and the subtle ways our nervous system holds experience.
You don’t need to know how to do that — that’s what we’ll work on together. We’ll go at your pace and meet you where you are at.
Everything you’re feeling right now belongs — it’s part of your journey. You’re in the exact right place in your life to take the next step in your growth.
I often hear people say, “I’ve been meaning to come to counselling for a while…”
If that’s you, you’re in the right place. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start.
I’d love to meet you and help you take that first step.
