Following both modern therapeutic methods as well as Indigenous modalities, I help others to un-cover what they come to know.

Think outside. No box required. Rooted in phenomenological Gestalt, I approach therapy by brainstorming life and its complexities; by co-creating spaces where experiment offers perspective, art offers a bird's eye view, where dialogue leads to reflections, communication creates connection and movement allows for shifts.

As a relational psychotherapist I believe that the key to happiness and contentment in life lies in our relationships with others. Understanding our relationship history, including our families of origin, as well as learning to recognize and honour how we feel, helps us to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves in connection with others. Intrinsic to this approach is a deep respect for each individual's particular reality and an appreciation of the social realities that impact their lives, such as race, class, gender and sexual difference. My personal experience is that working with a ...
