As a counsellor, I often meet people in their broken places, and since I have been to my own broken places, I feel kindness and compassion for those who are suffering. Counselling provides support and guidance as people face challenging situations. I am an ally, so that people do not need to do the hard work of change alone. I believe that healing happens in relationship and counselling provides a secure, non-judgmental, and respectful relationship that supports healthy growth and change. I believe that God created us to need each other.
MY APPROACH
I approach counselling from a relational perspective and view it through an attachment lens. Emotionally focused therapy is of particular interest to me because it does not view individuals in isolation, but as part of an interconnected group. I believe that one of our deepest longings as human beings is to be authentically known and loved, and counselling can be a safe place for people to begin the journey toward healthy and soul-satisfying relationships, both with others and themselves. I realize that everyone is in a different place, so I would encourage you to not be afraid, come as you are, and I will meet you on the couch.
