Virtual and In Person appointments available

(Virtual appointments for residents of Ontario and New Brunswick, In Person in Halton Hills, ON)

I offer counselling and psychotherapy from a systemic perspective that recognizes how our relationships with others and the systems we live in affect our relationship with ourselves, and how our relationship with ourselves affects every area of our lives. My clients are often seeking support for feelings of anxiety or general unease or dissatisfaction in life, work, and/or relationships and feel as though they are stuck in surviving. Many are looking to move from surviving to thriving, and we begin to recognize patterns that are impacting growth, and work to create new patterns towards change and balance. 

I am able to offer support for complex trauma from attachment injuries, including personal relationships, institutional or systemic betrayal, bereavement and grief including traumatic and anticipatory grief, help with coping with medical diagnosis and illness and work with traumatic stress from caregiving of those with medical diganosis or palliatve care needs. 

I am trained in integrative therapy for relational and attachment trauma as well as for birth and reproductive trauma and work with a relational approach towards reducing intensity and integrating, rather than just coping with, with the effects of chronic and complex traumatic experiences. 

Many of my clients are helping professionals including medical, allied/mental healthcare and wellness workers, and educators . I am able to offer a unique understanding of the complexity that comes with working in helping fields and can also offer processing of stress from frontline work and any other work related trauma exposure.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy for a variety of presenting issues for gifted, talented, creative and 2e adults (and older youth) with the understanding of how giftedness and neurodiverstiy weaves into the human experience. Included in this is an understanding of supporting parents of gifted kids in navigating the needs of their unique parenting experience. 

This work often involves some psychoeducation and nervous system sensitivity/intensity  grounding to build a platform for going deeper, beyond coping, into the root of issues. My approach is to take into consideration the complexity of the gifted/2e/creative mind and spirit, and to work from a trauma and grief-informed, gender and neurodiversity affirming perspective with awareness of individual life circumstances.

All appointments are virtual, serving adults and 

youth 16+
