Tricia Jeranie

We are all holding on to something that is weighing us down. It is hard to figure out how we free ourselves of that weight or even how we allow ourselves to let it go. I view counselling as a collaborative process and one that requires both effort and a desire to work toward change. I hope to carry a space of safety and curiosity, where I am following your lead. 

 

Framework

I hold a strengths-based and non-pathologizing approach. You are the only one who can tell the true story of your life. We are only human and as such, we are ever changing. Sometimes it is hard to come to terms with change and navigate our new selves. Often, we grow up with harmful teachings that carry on into our adulthood. I believe in the importance of validating your unique reality and deconstructing what it all means. I operate through both postmodernist and social constructivist lenses with relational and systemic perspectives.
