The Practitioners

Audrey is a Registered Psychotherapist and co-founder of As You Are Psychotherapy and Wellness. With a background in community mental health and research specializing in trauma and addictions, Audrey brings a deep curiosity about people's experiences, relationships, and the ways we come to understand ourselves. Her work is grounded in the belief that our past experiences, relationships, and environments shape how we move through the world, often in ways we don't fully recognize. She is interested in helping people make sense of these experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop a deeper relationship with themselves.

Audrey understands that coming to therapy can feel intimidating, particularly when you're opening up to someone new or aren't quite sure what to expect. She aims to make the process feel comfortable, approachable, and collaborative, offering a space where you can show up as you are without pressure to have everything figured out. Sessions are guided by conversation, curiosity, and a genuine interest in understanding your experience. Audrey will often bring questions and reflections to help explore what's happening beneath the surface, while making space for whatever feels most important to you. She values regularly checking in about how therapy is feeling and what is or isn't resonating, recognizing that the therapeutic relationship is an important part of the work itself.

Audrey's approach is relational and insight-oriented, drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-informed perspectives. She believes that meaningful change involves more than finding ways to manage difficult feelings or circumstances; it also means having the opportunity to understand where they come from, how they have shaped you, and what might be possible moving forward. At the same time, therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Audrey draws on different approaches and tools depending on your needs, balancing immediate support with deeper exploration. She strives to create a space rooted in warmth, curiosity, compassion, and respect, where you can feel understood and supported in exploring all parts of yourself.
