FORTALEZA COUNSELLING

Providing counselling & therapeutic services for adults and youth (aged 10 & up)

MY APPROACH

I’m glad you’re here.
I believe that our overall well-being is made up of not just our physical health, but our mental and emotional health, as well. I also understand how much vulnerability is involved in the healing process, whether it’s due to a short-term stressor or long-term trauma.

As we go through life, many of us internalize thoughts or feelings that can feel and be harmful - to ourselves and to those we care about. These become part of the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what our place in the world might be. It can then be challenging to feel safe enough to open up and explore painful, difficult, or unsettling feelings, including those that are deep-seated or unspoken. My hope is that, through empathy and collaboration, we can co-create a sense of safety for you, so you can feel seen and heard, all in a caring and nonjudgmental manner.

To that end, my approach is rooted in openness, genuineness, honesty, and trust. Whether you need assistance in learning strategies to help navigate life’s difficulties, someone to respectfully and compassionately challenge unhelpful notions, or simply someone to talk to, I offer individualized support to help you gain clarity, manage challenges, and foster the kind of healing, change, and joy you desire.
