For: Individuals, couples, children, families from all walks of life

Approach: My approach to counselling is about meeting you where you are at. Together through conversation as well as mental, emotional, and somatic awareness, we assess what is needed to assist you in moving through what feels stagnant, overcoming what feels difficult, addressing what contributes to the negative circumstances, and instilling what will bring about positive change, growth, and understanding of your life. We find and work with your own inner truth so as to strengthen your ability to become a counsel for yourself.

What it may look like:

• Getting to know you and where you are in your life

• Identifying beliefs and ways of thinking that may be limiting

• Encouraging the ideas and beliefs that promote well-being

• Looking at parts of your past that may still be affecting you today

• Cultivating self-worth, self-awareness, and self-love

• Implementing behaviours that promote connection and understanding with yourself and the others in your life

• Learning about the connection between your feeling state and your thinking

• Offering strategies and practices that will create lasting change for the better

Philosophy: It is my belief that we all have within us the capacity to live a truly happy and fulfilling life. Through exploring our minds, hearts, and bodies, we uncover that which hinders our truest expression and we amplify that which promotes a state of joy, fulfilment, wholeness, and love. I have no doubt that we are all capable of this and I take it on as my responsibility to show others just that.

For: Primarily individuals who desire or require a more spiritual approach to their growth

Approach: This approach is very similar in its essence to counselling but has more to do with leading someone into their inner wisdom, their connection to Source. We learn about the energy body and its connection to what we call Spirit. We explore ideas such as energy, intuition, truth, freedom, and divinity to promote a greater understanding of who and what we are. We use the concept of a spiritual practice to maintain a more conscious existence.

What it may look like:

• Getting to know your current understanding and relationship with Spirit

• Engaging in the practice of awareness and nurturing the perspective of the witness

• Shining a light on the unseen(shadow) parts of your being to integrate into the whole

• Recognizing and utilizing the power of language and its connection to the subconscious

• Learning about and expanding your knowledge on frequency, vibration, and resonance

• Exploring the ideas of awakening and enlightenment and what they mean

• Working with the trinity of archetypes of the creator, sustainer, and destroyer

• Recognizing the patterns and parallels between ourselves and the cosmos

• Harmonizing the mind/body/spirit connection

Philosophy: In my experience, opening up to something greater than our individual selves is a necessary component of a true understanding of life, love, and happiness. Regardless of what tradition or set of beliefs we come from, an awareness of and connection with what we may call Energy, Divinity, Spirit, Source, or God offers a completion to our existential wonder. Knowing we are spiritual beings having a human experience only serves to expand our potential and enrich the adventure of life.

For: Those interested in experiencing and operating from the essence of Being beyond the limitations of the persona, identity, or ego structure.

Approach: This approach is extended from the concepts practised in Spiritual Guidance. Once one has tasted the awareness of their eternal indestructible nature, their life becomes a practice in aligning with and embodying this Truth. We do this by exposing the illusory nature of the separate self. We explore what parts remain in our consciousness with which we identify. We practise ways of thinking that are reflective of what’s true in every moment so that the thinking mind is needed less and less. We live in harmony with what is foundational, the pure boundless consciousness that we are.

What it may look like:

• Sinking our awareness into the seat of our shared being by meditation and self-inquiry

• Excavating and relinquishing the stories that we hold

• Observing and witnessing what is alive in the mind and body, pulling at their threads and seeing where they lead

• Learning about how the mind/body/spirit trinity operates

• Inquiring about the self, who it is, and what it wants

• Studying the ego or identity to prevent its reestablishment as the dominating power

• Letting go of all attachments, leaving only connection with all that there is

• Shining the light of awareness on our fears and challenging emotions to allow them to dissolve

• Remembering and returning to awareness in its purest form

Philosophy: I am aware that the eternal reality is consciousness, unbounded. Awareness, Consciousness, or God is the fabric of reality. When one ceases to attach themselves to the content of awareness and resides in awareness itself, it becomes clear that we are Love; that that which is foundational is Love. When consciousness fragments itself into a subject perceiving a multiplicity of objects, it creates a state of separation, ignorance, attachment, and thus, suffering. Freedom from suffering is found in the remembering of one’s true nature as an infinite divine intelligence. Residing in the presence of this awareness, one knows the Love of God.
