Websites like this can feel overwhelming. First, it can be hard to sort through the titles: counsellor, therapist, psychotherapist, psychologist? And what's the difference anyway? See if this helps. I'm a guide. The questions we explore together create a kind of map. The map helps you see your life more clearly. All humans need a map at some point. We feel lost or stuck. We try to change direction. We might wonder what's wrong with us and why we can't be more like other people - people who seem to find life so much easier.
This is where therapy-as-mapmaking comes in. With a map, it IS easier. As we work together, I help you to reconnect with your internal compass -- the part of you that already knows and understands what you need, and the best way to meet those needs.
You decide how detailed the map will be. Sometimes, you may book a session to focus on skills to help solve a problem. Other times, you may want a more open-ended approach that allows for exploration. Every time, we work together in a way that feels safe and respectful. **secure videoconference and phone sessions available**
