Counselling Psychotherapy Consulting

I am a registered social worker located in Ontario, Canada, specializing in working with illness, grief and bereavement, and trauma, as well as therapy for gifted adults and youth (ages 16+). I work from the perspective of providing support and guidance through the healing process, and will sit with you through the dark times into a place that honours your grief and supports movement into lighter space. I also work with clients who are on the path of personal growth, and who are motivated to follow this path of discovery towards healing and living well.

Some issues I can help with include:

· Grief/Anticipatory Grief

· Coping with Medical Diagnosis

· Caregiver Stress   

· Medical Trauma

· Attachment and Betrayal Trauma

·Birth and Reproductive Trauma

· Nervous System Regulation 

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Giftedness (including High/Exeptional/Profoundly Gifted)

· Highly Sensitive Persons

· Existential Questions

· Identity Searching

· Spirituality

My background is as eclectic as my approach, I am trained in Trauma and Attachment (Certified Trauma Integration Clinician), Birth and Reporductive Trauma, Flash Technique with Zentangle*, Compassionate Inquiry, Neurodiversity Informed Mindfulness, Cognitive Behaviour Therapies, Dialectic Behaviour Therapies, grief, loss and bereavement, pediatric psychosocial care (Child Life Specialist), addictions counselling, holistic nutrition, and outdoor leadership. I work from a very relational perspective, seeing the value in healing through the therapeutic relationship, and I incorporate many of these modalities of practice into my everyday life as my own journey of growth is of continuous importance to me.
