My Approach to Therapy
As a counsellor, I help connect you with your own inborn strength and resiliency. My approach is rooted in compassion and in a deep faith in the healing that happens when we feel seen and validated. Years of yoga and mindfulness practice influence my approach to counselling, and I try to make counselling an embodied experience because I believe change happens when we are fully present in our experience. In working with me, you will find that I focus on fostering the capacity to be emotionally regulated and present with experience. I see counselling as a context where we can learn to have faith in our capacity to handle what arises within our lives and within
ourselves. As we practice meeting each moment with our whole human selves, we learn more about what matters to us, and it can become easier to move forward in ways that align with what we truly value.
Theories Influencing My Approach
I am particularly influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which balances letting go of resistance to the difficult experiences of our lives with taking action to bring about the changes we desire in our lives. I also pull on the theory of Internal Family Systems (IFS), which beautifully holds space for the complexity of being human. I have done training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), which emphasizes developing relational skills to build meaningful connections, and I also work with ideas from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on developing strong emotional bonds. Broadly, I am influenced by Attachment Theory, which explores how our early relationships with caregivers impact the unfolding of our lives and generally takes an embodied and relational approach. My master’s thesis focuses on understanding the lived experience of chronic pain recovery from a relational lens and aims to challenge more common individualistic perspectives on recovery.
