I typically work with people wrestling with anxiety, despair, anger, and shame; who struggle with guilt, mistrust, addiction, and dissociation; who are self-critical, self-destructive, and who feel trapped in repeated patterns of hurting self and other. Such feelings, behaviours, and patterns of relating often stem from multiple and complex life events and circumstances, including past and present abusive and neglectful relationships, abandonment, bereavement, bullying, trauma, racism, sexism, gender expectations, parenthood, study/work/financial pressures, and more existential challenges such as finding meaning in life and death. I find that the use of entheogens / psychedelics often brings people closer to much of the above, which can of course be unsettling, terrifying, reorienting, and liberating, among many other things.
I offer a warm, nurturing space in which, collaboratively, we can explore and make sense of difficulties you are facing. My training in Counselling Psychology means I am skilled in working integratively, that is using several therapeutic approaches including systemic, internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic, and existential models, and able to tailor my work to meet your specific situation. Primarily, my style is relational and contextual.
