Welcome

Therapy can offer a safe and secure base for authentic reflection and connection. It offers resources and new ways of being to turn seemingly impossible situations, such as life transitions and trauma, into ones in which we can find dignity and harmony.  In the therapeutic relationship, we can create a space where shame, fear and isolation are integrated and transformed - a space to nurture your capacity for joy in the fine balance between the strivings of the authentic self and the self-in-connection.

Disruptive relationships and stressful life events can continue to have distressing effects until they are safely supported and worked through. 


In our sessions we'll engage in collaborative dialogue and exchange while building upon portable skills in self-agency and resourcing.  We can draw from a reservoir of tools such as affect-regulation skills including an understanding  of emotion and the nervous system; event mapping for structural dissociation, anxiety and avoidance; body-inclusive approaches for trauma processing, boundary setting; navigating needs, preferences and attachment; as well as parts-work for self-leadership.  


In sessions, we can aim to create a more intimate foundation from which to explore or hold space for the ever changing dynamism of life.

 When relational challenges become too  overwhelming, it can be difficult for couples to navigate the situation alone.   Therapy for couples offers partners a safe space for formulation of new emotional experiences that transform the nature of the interactional conflict or drama.  Therapy may be a good option  if:


  • arguments are repetitive/worsening 
  • you wish to exchange more emotional and/or physical intimacy  
  • you seek pre-marital counselling
  • a partner has requested therapy
  • relational wounds, breach of trust,  damaging behaviours or financial stressors are harming  your communication and connection 
  •  you are managing isolation and emotional pain related to substance use  (disruption of attachment, roles, routines, communication, social life)
  • you in a  life change (birthing, career transitions) 
  • you are navigating emergency/shock (illness, death, diagnosis) 
  • emotional cheating or physical affairs have damaged relational bonds
     

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)  is a well-known humanistic approach, developed in tandem with the science of adult attachment. The EFT approach combines well with IFS parts-work and trauma-informed modalities.


In sessions, you will have the opportunity to co-create change, not from catharsis or by simply improving communication skills, but from present moment authentic and engaging exchange,  particularly as it pertains to emotions and needs.
