I often work with the parts of yourself that you may find challenging like an angry or upset part as an ifs informed therapist. We often start with a grounding and employ things such as the subconscious, nature and sometimes even oracle cards. We find ways to unburden the burdens some of your parts have been carrying since childhood and you are empowered to start caring for these parts of yourself until the time you don't need me anymore because you know how to take care of a part when needed with compassion and curiosity.
At a young age I found mindfulness through a school teacher and it changed my life. Fast forward to current day I employ an IFS informed lens to my practice (compassion based) along with my base of spiritual psychotherapy rooted in nature. With nature sometimes as a container for therapy virtually I have seen it be very successful in alleviating symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Currently in Canada many psychedelics are illegal to the majority of the population and I can not promote/source or encourage illegal activities. A well, I can not promote / source or encourage you with any medical advice such as dose amount or medicine/drug as it is out of the scope of practice for psychotherapists. If you do decide to engage in non-licensed medicine use please be careful: get your drugs tested, ask for help or guidance and stay safe.
