“If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us walk together.”
-Lilla Watson, Aboriginal Wisdom keeper.

The healing journey is diverse, organic, intuitive, and self-guided, and does not happen in isolation. Creating safety in order to heal takes support and connection. We are not problems to be fixed; we are complex beings with infinite potential to thrive in ways that align with our hearts.

I view healing through a holistic lens, acknowledging the inherent wholeness and interconnectedness within each of us. My approach to support is rooted in curiosity and non-judgmental self-observation. I prioritize gathering information to increase our conscious awareness, enabling us to make choices and develop radical self-compassion. My focus is on differentiating learned coping behaviours and our embodied trauma, from our identities and self-worth. I hold deep compassion and acceptance for those struggling with behaviours labelled as addictive and/or compulsive.

If you are seeking support as a unique individual, and hope to gain deeper understandings, while experiencing respite from your internal conditioning, I may be a good fit for partnership. In my practice, I integrate insights from the following:

• Anti-oppressive theories

• Decolonization

• Compassionate communication (NVC)

• Narrative therapy

• Inclusive spirituality

• Trauma-informed care

• CBT

• Family systems theory

• The Sacred Feminine

• Body Positivity

• And Others

Belonging, purpose, and connection are universal needs that we all share. Disconnecting from ourselves and our world, we lose a sense of belonging and fail to understand who we truly are. Yet often disconnection seems our only choice. We see our relationships lacking ease, safety, and trust. The most common narrative of our dominant culture suggests that we are individually responsible for our suffering. This story is not only flawed but lacking the truth of our deepest needs.

Despite our efforts and active participation in life, we often feel increasingly isolated and directionless. It is important to recognize that our confusion and pain do not solely originate from within ourselves. There are external factors that play a significant role as well. We are influenced by our surroundings and shaped by our experiences, family backgrounds, and the current culture of the world we inhabit today.

Using gentle curiosity to identify and understand the subconscious influences that shape our ideas, habits, and coping mechanisms is empowering. Our cultural, familial, systemic, and personal experiences can all contribute to our struggles, which often stems from a societal culture that fails to meet our authentic human needs.
