Welcome to Deep Roots Therapies
In nature, it is diversity which helps beings, and communities to not only survive but thrive in this world during the precious time we are gifted. In this broad spirit I am guided in helping others identify and nourish the power of their own rootedness. This to help challenge aspects of culture that often expects/values sameness, and diminishes uniqueness.
My practice artfully blends evidence-based psychotherapy treatment approaches, with intuitive, sensory-focused mindfulness meditation and land-based healing including:
-Connecting with one’s own thoughts, feelings and emotions
-Feeling safe, comfortable and at rest in one's body
Connecting with others in ways that feels safe and nourishing
-Connecting with nature and the more-than-human world
-Connecting with an understanding of our unique brain learning and cognitive needs
As a Psychologist, three core beliefs which inform how I practice include:
-
I believe that therapy should not last forever- If a person is open, ready and willing to do some work, there is no limit to the changes or insights a person can experience.
-
I believe that although therapy can be painful, and feel like work at times, there can also be humour, lightness, and dare I say fun.
-
I believe that symptoms and diagnostic terms can generally be helpful. However, they in themselves are not a clear link to effective treatment goals. Therefore, I use specificity, openness and curiosity to work to identify treatment goals that are clear, and positively framed.
