Finding the right fit with a therapist is one of the most important parts of counselling. I work with you to build safety and comfort in exploring areas of your life you want to change. I am dedicated to helping people find ways of being in the world that are authentic to them and enjoy working with the many different challenges people face and how to navigate through them. I love working with people exploring different paths and looking to challenge the status quos in their lives, including those walking non-conforming paths. I am also passionate about supporting people to work through historical trauma and its present day impact.
I am eager to support people craving change with a variety of concerns. I have experience in trauma and training in EMDR therapy. I have additional training in sex therapy and love to work with people exploring how to have a healthy relationship to sex and sexuality. I enjoy seeing individuals of all backgrounds and couples/relationships of all forms.
I'd love to hear from you to explore how I might be able to support your journey and move towards a deeper connection to yourself and create lasting change. Check out my website at www.pivotcounselling.org for more details about my practice and how I can help.
