In the counselling space, we can do more than just talk. We believe creativity is a way for us as human beings to get to know ourselves more. Expressive arts include writing, painting, drawing, and exploring creative parts of your life that you would like to bring into the counselling space. This could include books, movies, photos, and journal entries.

Narrative therapy includes understanding one’s own story and how emotions, actions, and problems fit into the context of that story. We may explore events and discuss aspects of your life stories, learning to recognize alternative and dominant narratives within your life, and actively work toward change.

Trauma-informed therapists work to establish a sense of safety and trust before diving deep into your trauma history. They start by developing a strong collaborative and supportive relationship and will work to empower clients by honoring their voice and their choice of what they want and need from their therapy. Compassion and respect are the foundation of trauma-informed care.

We will begin to integrate your physical body into the therapy process. We will respect and recognize the intimate relationship between the human body and the psychological well-being of a person.
