What's My Approach to Therapy?

Therapy isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about slowing down enough to truly listen to yourself. At Liminal Bloom Counselling, I work with adults and teens who find themselves in the in-between: when what once felt certain has fallen away, and the next step feels unclear. These transitions can bring anxiety, disconnection, or hopelessness, but they can also open the door to deeper healing and self-understanding. Together, we’ll create a space where you can begin to understand what your mind and body are trying to tell you, reconnect with your inner sense of safety, and move towards authentic, self-led living.

I help clients struggling with eating and body image concerns, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes. My approach is depth-oriented and trauma-informed, meaning we go beyond surface symptoms to explore the emotional patterns, protective parts, and stories that shape how you experience yourself and others.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected from your body, or longing for more authentic relationships, therapy can be a place to slow down, make meaning, and move toward an inner sense of safety and wholeness. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

What I love most about being a psychotherapist is the privilege of walking alongside others on their healing journeys. It?s a tremendous gift to witness the courage it takes to turn toward pain, seek understanding, and grow into deeper authenticity. I?m continually humbled by the resilience of the human spirit and the moments of connection that unfold when someone begins to trust themselves again. Every session feels like an invitation...to slow down, to listen deeply, and to honour the quiet transformations that make healing possible.

Groups I Work With

    I work primarily with adolescents and adults navigating challenges related to emotional regulation, self-worth, identity, and relationships. Many of my clients have experienced complex or developmental trauma, relational wounds, or patterns of disconnection rooted in early attachment experiences. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and disordered eating, often within the context of perfectionism, caregiving roles, or life transitions. My approach is grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and integrative principles, supporting clients to build safety, self-understanding, and authentic connection both within themselves and in their relationships.
