Support for diverse journeys
Individual
One on one
With individuals, I work one on one to develop a therapeutic relationship with you. We can explore and uncover the questions you are bringing to therapy while looking at what you’ve overcome and where you are headed. I work with youth 10 and up, adults, and elders.
Individual therapy can go a multitude of directions but most importantly it needs to fit for you. When we explore different modalities that suit your strengths and intelligences, we can find what gives you the best results.
Relationships
Friends & Romantic
Working as a pair in any dynamic can use mediation, guidance, and facilitation. We can work together to come to a deeper understanding of what has happened between you, what drew you to each other, what you are building, and where you hope to go despite the challenges you have faced.
It is my intention to learn about you both, ask guiding questions, and help you communicate in ways that empower you. Sometimes changes can occur when we learn to ask questions differently. I aim to provide a container where you can practice that safely.
Families
Chosen & of origin
We learn and practice belonging inside our families. We are friends and enemies. We inherit behaviours, traits, and pain from our families.
It can be helpful to come together as a group to say unexpressed things, discover what others are perhaps hiding or masking, come up with group strategies, and learn about how each individual’s brain works inside the family dynamic.
You are welcome to come in together and then build skills through individual sessions as well.
Note: As a cis, white, able-bodied, settler, queer practitioner, there are limits to my knowledge and understandings of intersectional experiences. If I can support the humanizing of you, however, I am here for it and in your corner. It is my honour to develop trusting relationships, and trust is earned.
My name is Helena,
I am here to walk with you through conversations that take courage. I love what I do and I look forward to getting to know you.
