One-size-fits-all isn't true for clothing, life, or therapy! My own journey has been very off the beaten track. I love working with others to break free of societal expectations and internalized messaging to find their authentic self. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including parts work (informed by internal family systems), narrative and existential therapies. I use humour in therapy, as I believe it is a wonderfully regulating tool.
In all of these, I work from a feminist, trauma-informed and anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and compassion-focused. You are the expert on your life, your experiences, and your situation; my role is to act as witness and guide as you connect to your own innate wisdom, power, and capacity for healing. I believe healing occurs in relationship with others, and that it is in the sharing of our stories and being witnessed with compassion in difficult moments that enables us to move towards a more authentic, meaningful, and joyful life.
