When clients come to see me for support, they are at a crossroads and feel like they can’t do it on their own. Life has gotten too big for them and they need someone to help guide them through the storm and to safety on the other side.
They need compassion and understanding.
They are craving connection with their true self or a higher power. They are wanting to heal and transform traumas, mend relationships and find hope and peace. They are searching for deeper meaning and purpose in life.
As we work together I can help you restore this lost connection to yourself as you come to a deeper recognition of who you truly are. I will help you tap into your inner resources so that you can bring more joy, hope and compassion into your life. I welcome every part of you and give you tools to help you manage difficult feelings.
WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?
I work with people who are feeling burnt out, exhausted, and not-good-enough. Oftentimes they are struggling with shame, guilt, anxiety and depression. They have lost touch with who they are and feel a disconnect between their body, mind and soul. They are suffering from chronic illnesses, caregiver burnout, or stressful relationships with those close to them. They are wanting to finally deal with traumas or experiences that were difficult.
I work closely with people who are going through spiritual transitions and exploration.
I also work with folks who are struggling with disordered eating and are wanting to be on the path of recovery

WHAT EXACTLY IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy is an amazing tool that can be used in our counselling sessions if you choose. It is a highly focused, yet deeply relaxed state of mind that allows the chattering “thinking” brain to slow down and get quiet so that the subconscious can step forward to access the root cause of many of our problems. In this relaxed state, sometimes called “trance” we are allowed to observe painful thoughts, feelings and memories that might have been hidden from our conscious mind.
​
Feelings and memories associated with trauma tend to hide in our unconscious memory and we don’t always remember the trauma experienced (on a conscious level) Once our subconscious discovers the root cause of the problem, we can openly and safely explore these painful, traumatic and repressed memories.
​
Hypnotherapy helps to resolve and release these, allowing freedom, clarity and lasting change. In this relaxed state, we are also able to observe our real-life situations, feelings and events in a different light. We can change our behaviours, find relief from chronic pain and cultivate new mindsets. Hypnotherapy can help you access your goals and create long lasting change in all areas of your life.
​
My style of hypnotherapy is gentle, attentive and nondirective. I use many different relaxation techniques,metaphors, stories and symbolism in my sessions so that you can access the parts of your subconscious needed for deep healing and change. I will help you get to the root of the problem with compassion and acceptance as you uncover and explore your inner world.
