Philosophy
In their practice, cc meets the needs of each client where they are on their healing journey, even when words cannot fully describe their feelings. They encourage clients to express their thoughts and emotions through art and handwork. cc believes everyone can heal their wounds and see themselves as a witness and companion that folks may lean on when necessary. cc has been honoured to walk with many different folks on their healing journeys. In their practice, their primary focus is guided by the idea that everyone deserves to be liberated and be their authentic selves.
Therapeutic Approach
They incorporate mindfulness practices, dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), compassionate inquiry, and expressive arts therapy using a multiple perspective and culturally aware lens. cc;s approach is grounded in Mi'kmaq Elder Albert Marshall's Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), the late Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh's embodiment of mindful being, and Dr. Gabor Maté's compassionate inquiry. cc specializes in supporting people who have experienced marginalization and have been impacted by the harms of colonization. They are empathic to those who need to navigate the web of systemic hurdles. cc works closely with the clients to determine their desired goals of healing and will work with the clients together to create plans to reach those outcomes. Along the way, they will work with clients to re-evaluate such goals and together make any adjustments as needed.
Focus Areas
Life transitions can be challenging for folks who are marginalized in multiple intersectional ways, and cc is well-informed in the maze of race, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, disability, body-affirming, and intergenerational trauma as a therapist with such lived experiences.
