Isabelle (she/her) approaches her work with warmth, creativity, humour, and developing relationship. She believes that we are human first, and that human connection is the foundation for the therapeutic process.
She is honoured to witness, listen to, and learn from you as you move towards processing, growth, transformation, and discovery.
Isabelle holds a Masters’ degree in Counselling Psychology. She works with youth ages 12+, individuals, and couples. She believes that each individual already has the wisdom and means for healing already within them. Her approach is attachment-based, psychodynamic, somatic, and relational. Isabelle provides care to those of all backgrounds; her practice is neurodivergent-affirming, 2SLGBTQIA+-affirming, and she is committed to the continual learning and practice of cultural humility.
Isabelle is trained in Level 1 Ketamine Assisted Therapy – a medicine-assisted trauma treatment that can aid in transformation when things are feeling stuck. She is available for answering any questions or curiosities around KAT.
Isabelle has experience in and offers support for individuals or couples who are
navigating:
-Relational and attachment wounds.
-Trauma and C/PTSD.
-Experiencing big feelings that feel overwhelming or scary.
-Depression/anxiety.
-Sex and sexuality, 2SLGBTQIA+ challenges, and sexual trauma.
-Religious and purity-related trauma.
-Feminine empowerment and embodiment.
She is especially drawn to working with clients with attachment wounds,relational trauma, and working on relationship to the self and others.
She grew up in the dance world, which has influenced her work as a therapist through acknowledging the importance of movement, and the mind/body connection. Our bodies have so much wisdom and allowing ourselves to listen to this, she believes, is a huge part of the work done together as therapist and client. Building trust and safety together in the therapy room, as well as trust and safety in your own body and experiences, is at the core of the therapy work together.
