Resonance Counselling

What is Resonance?

​

It is that experience of having something or someone connect with you so deeply that it reverberates into the very core of your being. Like a low, deep hum. A sigh of truth. Or, as one of my clients puts it, a “soul knowing”.

​

Resonance can take place in moments of intuition, self-realization, spiritual epiphany, and awe at beauty. It can also take place in the space between ourselves and another, that sacred space, where we feel seen and known in the authenticity of who we are.

​

It is for these experiences that I decided to name my counselling practice “Resonance”. My most sincere desire is to create spaces within a therapeutic setting in which individuals can uncover their truest selves, and heal from any barriers which have previously gotten in the way of that full expression.

​

As a therapist who holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family therapy, I understand that we as individuals live our lives within the context of relational systems. I therefore see every client as a whole being; body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationships. By addressing these different areas of self, it is my firm belief that growth, healing, and positive change is possible for every person.

​

The science of interpersonal neurobiology is an area of interest for me, as is the innovative field of trauma treatment via body-based approaches such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga. I also draw from the therapeutic models of Satir Transformational Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, and attachment theory.

​

I currently am privileged to work with women, men, young adults, and teens around a variety of struggles related to relationships, depression and anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, personal development, and spiritual formation.
