INDIVIDUAL therapy
A soulful practice of deepening inquiry that places the wisdom of the body and creative processes at the heart of your healing. A space in which you may find the gifts in your wounds and come closer to the truth of the story that you are here to live.
“No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
At the heart of each life lives an unrelenting impulse towards change and transformation. The way that we approach and navigate these changes deepens our capacity to awaken to our unique expression of life, finding greater meaning and purpose along the way. Therapy is one way (of many), in which we can support ourselves to fully embrace what is asked of us and define what lies most deeply within us so that we may chart our own course through the myriad thresholds that life presents to us.
Life by its nature will forever carry its share of trials and challenges - personal and collective, inner and outer - often intensified by the complexity and uncertainty of the modern world. In the midst of these adversities, it’s easy to feel anxious, disoriented, isolated, and become disconnected from the deeper dimensions of our lives.
None of us are immune to the profound impact of traumatic and painful life events that are oftentimes beyond our control. We each and every one of us are required to navigate the very real and trepidatious journey of becoming oneself in this wild and unwavering world. Each of us are touched by moments and circumstances that invite us to change in ways that we cannot anticipate, and which take their own time to unfold.
Yet, whatever shakes us or breaks us down can also break us open — revealing the quiet, sustaining presence within that holds our potential to heal, grow, and transform. In this space, our symptoms become messengers, our challenges become invitations, and our dreams become guides.
Therapy can be a space in which you are supported to step into your depths. Where all parts of you can be welcomed, seen and held. Where you can be met with an open heart and mind, and a gentle guiding hand to encourage and attend. Where you can forge the tools that work for you so as to give truer form to the unique shape and style at the core of your being. Where you can honour what has been, discover what is possible, and connect to the truth of your life’s precious story – altering the course of your life for the better.
MY APPROACH
I take a person-centred approach, rooted in the quiet trust that each person carries within them a deep well of inner wisdom - a knowing shaped by experience, longing, and the innate movement toward healing and growth. I take as a starting point that we are, by nature, beings of connection — hard wired for intimate relationships with ourselves, one another, and the unseen threads that bind us to life’s unfolding story.
My work is grounded in embodied and somatic practices, guided by the understanding that the body remembers what the mind may forget. The subtle language of the nervous system carries the imprint of past experiences, and in tending gently to the body’s signals, we invite the possibility of regulation, of returning to rhythm, of finding safety and spaciousness from within.
Without reservation, I offer a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space in which the individual is invited to connect with their body, their intentions, their stories, their power and their unique way of being in this world. I may draw from creative arts therapies, ritual and myth, parts work, dreamwork, mindfulness, and embodied psychotherapy to help you make meaning of your experience in ways that resonate with your soul’s own rhythm. My intention is to create true forms of connection, welcoming whatever is present and responding with curiosity, openness, and kindness.
Above all, I offer my presence - honest, grounded, and open-hearted. My role is not to lead you away from yourself, but to walk beside you as you remember what was never truly lost - the deep shape of who you are, and the unique thread that you carry through the life that is yours to live.
