Roots in Parenting, Growth in Counselling

My journey into Dr. Neufeld’s relational developmental approach closely mirrors my experience in parenthood and blending a family. Alongside parenting my seven children, I've had the privilege of caring for additional children through the foster system, each imparting invaluable lessons that have enriched my roles as a teacher, counsellor, and parent.

Formally trained in relational somatic experiencing, I offer trauma-informed therapy, emphasizing connection, somatic awareness, and attachment.

As a counsellor, parent, and teacher, I support individuals, families, adolescents, and educators, prioritizing connection and growth.

At SelfDesign Learning Community, I'm committed to inclusive education.

Grounded in developmental psychology, I focus on the relational developmental approach to counselling, pioneered by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, which emphasizes the significance of attachment, relationships, and developmental stages in understanding human behaviour and fostering healthy development. This approach recognizes the importance of early childhood experiences and the formation of secure attachments in shaping an individual's emotional well-being and relational patterns throughout life.

I aim to empower clients to deepen their insight, develop skills, and make positive changes. Whether in-person or online, I provide personalized support, integrating somatic and strength-based approaches.

Let's journey together towards self-discovery and growth, navigating life's challenges and realizing your potential.
