Therapist and Registered Clinical Counsellor

Specializing in complex challenges, CPTSD, DID, Chronic Pain, Grief and Loss, Depression & Anxiety, Healing from Abuse. 

I offer a gentle and safe space to explore and change together what blocks you from being able to live life fully. I work from an anti-oppressive perspective, using a feminist and unlearning approach. I believe that through attunement and safety, we can figure out how to meet your goals. My experience is that we can heal or get to live fuller lives. My healing and learning journey makes me comfortable working with complex challenges, CPTSD, DID, chronic pain, grief and loss, depression & anxiety, healing from abuse and what feels overwhelming or too much. Therapy can help us understand where we are coming from and where to get. I strive to help people find their inner resources, new ways of coping and understanding their lives. I am queer and hope to create safe space for others. I work somatically using SE, Internal Family System, and psychodynamic interventions that are tailored to fit personal needs. If you are unlearning, I help unpack the personal impact that comes from it .

Counsellor/Psychotherapist

I have worked in and around mental health for more than twenty years, and the sum total of my experiences has shaped the trauma-informed lens that I currently practice from. Personal experience has also led me here, and my family's history, my training as a yoga teacher, as well as a deep, lifelong bond with the natural world have all influenced the presence that I bring to my work.

I provide counseling and psychotherapy for issues related to all forms of trauma (particularly developmental and relational trauma), using a blend of Internal Family Systems Therapy and a somatic focus informed by Hakomi Therapy and Focusing-Oriented Therapy. I have an additional interest in the field of ecopsychology and therefore I also draw from nature-guided practices and ritual. I am trained in EMDR and integrate these other approaches into EMDR protocols to truly tailor it to each person's unique character and needs. 

While I hold an intersectional, anti oppressive, and feminist view of mental health, I am also a keen student of the human nervous system.  I bring forth a highly attuned presence that is respectful, grounded, and gentle - in service of  the larger vision of fostering resilience, healing, and empowerment for all those I work with. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the possibility of working together.
