Therapy can be both serious and fun. There is room for humour, honesty, curiosity, and play alongside the difficult work. I aim to meet you where you are and adapt my approach to what you need—sometimes creating a gentle and spacious place to slow down and process, and other times asking challenging questions, taking the lead, or offering a framework that helps something finally make sense.

My work draws from EMDR, parts work, attachment-based developmental theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), grief support, self-compassion, transpersonal psychotherapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and trauma- and nervous-system-informed approaches. 

I’m a Registered Social Worker who works primarily with adults, couples, parents and youth. I also offer small group circle processes for conflict resolution and increased communication.

For clients who are spiritually inclined, I welcome exploration of meaning, purpose, consciousness, spirituality, and the bigger questions that arise throughout our lives. I offer shamanic energy medicine sessions integrated with mainstream therapy, bringing in tools from ancient healing arts, animism and archetypes. I have been studying and practicing shamanism for the past 20 years and am a ceremonialist who has officiated earth-based spiritual weddings, and grief and fire ceremonies. As a space holder, I bring a nurturing and clear presence that invites others into deep safety and discovery.

Outside of my work, I enjoy country living, earth-based spirituality and ceremony, writing poetry, theatre, travelling, organizing events, learning, and spending time in nature.

A Note About Scope of Practice

To remain within my scope of practice, I do not diagnose mental health disorders or provide treatment for substantial mental health disorders. I do not work with high-conflict divorce, chronic suicidality, or serious and ongoing self-harm. If any of these are your primary concerns, our office would be happy to provide referral options.
