I am a Registered Social Worker located in Ontario, Canada, currently offering counselling, psychotherapy and consulting. I work from a relational lens, recognizing the importance of being in 'right relationship' with our whole, creative selves, each other and the greater world. I enjoy working with a variety of needs, but have indepth skills and experience with complex trauma. I work from a neurodivergent (gifted/2e) and gender affirming place of practice.
I am also a Certified Child Life Specialist with experience in community healthcare psychosocial support, and I work to incorporate human development knowledge and skills into my work with adults from an interconnected, relational/cultural and family-centred approach.
I am currently working towards a PhD in Human Relationships, Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy through Wilfrid Laurier/Martin Luther University with research interest in relationality and embodied ethics in program development, training, regulation and practice within helping professions.
My perspective for therapy is to encourage rediscovery of the creative and authentic self that is inside all of us, and to offer support and guidance through wholisitc body-mind-soul integrative process. I aim to walk with you through your process into a place that honours your challenges your experiences and supports movement into a more balanced 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.
I work from a very relational perspective, seeing the value of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation to stand on while building autonomy, and acknowledges we live in relationship with everyone and everything around us, including the natural world. This work involves seeing where we’ve fallen out of balance in these relationship, and works to restore that balance as the path towards thriving for all. I incorporate many of the modalities of practice into my everyday life as my own embodiment of the values in practice is of continuous importance to me.
