Practice Information
I approach counselling with a warm, grounded presence and a strong commitment to social justice and anti-oppressive practice. I honour the diversity, uniqueness, and individuality of each person I work with. With a deep understanding of intergenerational trauma, psychiatric diagnoses, and personality dynamics, I integrate my background as a kinesiologist and holistic wellness coach into a counselling approach rooted in psychodynamic insight and informed by cognitive behavioural principles.
I work closely with psychiatrists and psychologists to help clients access comprehensive assessments that offer greater clarity into their strengths, challenges, and internal resources. I have a particular passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and Autism, drawing on years of experience as a certified sports coach for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
I’m currently completing post-graduate studies in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, building on my three-year clinical master’s degree in counselling. I have advanced training in supporting clients through experiences such as psychosis, intergenerational conflict, identity reorganization, and the complex dynamics of living with or leaving abusive partners. I also support those navigating a range of psychiatric symptoms, including depression, anxiety, dissociation, ADHD, and borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality traits, and chronic pain.
Blending somatic therapies, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, emotion-focused work, and psychoanalytic talk therapy, I offer an eclectic and personalized toolbox to support you as you move through life’s challenges, transitions, and unexpected traumas—with care, curiosity, and respect.
