Counselling for Individuals, Couples, & Families
Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start when life feels overwhelming or when you find yourself caught in familiar patterns that no longer serve you. Counselling offers a space to slow down, explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and care, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the challenges you're facing. I believe that self-awareness, knowledge, and a sense of agency create the foundation for meaningful and lasting transformation. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship. Through an ongoing therapeutic relationship, we can gently explore the ways your past experiences and relationships continue to shape how you think, feel, connect, and respond to the world around you. Together, we can begin to renegotiate long-standing patterns, reconnect with your inherent strengths and capacities, and create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. Rather than focusing solely on immediate solutions, my approach supports deeper, transformative change that honours your unique experiences and unfolds at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. My hope is that our work together leaves you with a greater sense of connection, resilience, and confidence in navigating both present and future challenges. Please note: Due to licensing regulations, my counselling services are limited to individuals residing in Ontario, Canada.
Consulting & Training
I offer customized consulting and training for organizations seeking to strengthen clinical practice, support professional development, and enhance the quality of care they provide. I work collaboratively with organizations and teams to understand their specific needs, explore opportunities for growth, and develop meaningful learning experiences that are practical, relevant, and grounded in evidence-informed practice. My work is informed by extensive experience across the areas of trauma, addiction, neurodivergence, violence, and mental health, with particular attention to the complex ways these experiences intersect. Drawing from relational, somatic, and trauma-informed perspectives, I offer consulting and training that supports deeper understanding, increased capacity, and more attuned approaches to working with individuals and communities. Examples of previously delivered training include: •Complex Trauma •Trauma and Neurodivergence •Intimate Partner Violence •Your Nervous System and COVID: Understanding How Nervous System Functioning Impacts Your Emotional and Psychological Health •The Invisible Wound: Understanding Trauma and its Outcomes •Trauma and the Body: Practical Applications in Supporting Your Nervous System with Navigating the Impact of Chronic Stress and Trauma •Somatic Foundations for Mental Health Providers: Supporting Regulation and Resilience •The Embodied Self: How Presence Becomes the Somatic & Relational Foundation of Competence •Working with Trauma and the Body: Fundamentals of Somatic Therapy •Integrating Somatic Therapy Approaches: From Concept to Embodied Practice •Resourcing the Body: Somatic Practices for Cultivating Safety and Stability •Deepening Embodied Resilience: Somatic Practices for Enhancing Interoceptive Awareness Training and consultation can be adapted to meet the unique needs of your organization, team, or community, creating opportunities for learning that are relevant, thoughtful, and connected to the work you do.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision offers a space to thoughtfully reflect on your work, enhance your clinical practice, and navigate the complexities of supporting others. I believe that meaningful clinical growth happens through reflection, curiosity, and relationship. My approach to supervision is collaborative and relational, creating space to explore both the rewards and challenges of clinical work while fostering ongoing professional growth. Whether you're developing your professional identity or seeking support with complex clinical work, supervision offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself as a therapist, strengthen your clinical confidence, and cultivate an intentional, reflective approach to practice. Please note: If you are seeking clinical supervision toward registration or ongoing professional requirements, please confirm with your governing body that supervision provided by a Registered Social Worker meets their requirements.
My Approach
I believe that lasting change happens through relationship, safety, and a compassionate understanding of the experiences that have shaped you. The patterns we develop are meaningful responses to our lived experiences and often reflect the ways we have learned to navigate relationships, emotions, and the world around us.
My practice is anchored within an anti-oppressive critical framework that recognizes the ways personal experiences, relationships, and broader social and systemic realities intersect. My work is primarily informed by Somatic Experiencing®, Somatic Practice, and Somatic Inner Relationship Focusing. I integrate these approaches with relational, attachment-based, polyvagal-informed, and narrative perspectives to support greater self-understanding, connection, and transformation.
Using a holistic lens, I seek to understand you within the broader context of your relationships, experiences, identities, and the environments in which you have lived. Together, we can create a space where you feel supported in exploring your experiences, connecting with yourself in an embodied way, and developing a deeper sense of choice and agency. Through this process, we can begin to reconnect with and discover your whole self.
I recognize that the challenges people face are complex and shaped by both personal experiences as well as the broader social and structural conditions that affect our lives. The healing process involves not only understanding our individual stories, but also acknowledging the ways marginalization, oppression, and disconnection impact our lives and relationships. Through personal healing and engagement with transformative practices, we can move toward greater compassion, equity, connection, and collective well-being.
