I am passionate about supporting folks with: childhood trauma & cptsd, self-criticism & self-worth, relationship and family concerns, notably adult children of emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, spirituality, inner child healing, perfectionism, body-based concerns (chronic illness, pain, disease), and more.
Are you feeling ready for deeper healing? I am a somatic and soul-based therapist & healer passionate about reconnecting you to the wisdom of your body, heart, and soul. I approach healing from a compassionate, embodied, empowering & holistic perspective. You are not seen as being broken, flawed, or needing to be fixed. We will explore your symptoms together (such as anxiety, people-pleasing, over-working, low self-esteem..) and learn how to listen to their wisdom. We will use modalities focused on healing from the root cause to create long-lasting transformation.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy & Spirituality from St.
I invite and include all humans; even if you feel alien, you are welcome. As a member of the LGBTQ2S community with mixed ancestry and a decolonizing lens, I see people as being impacted by their social, cultural and environmental circumstances. These factors intersect with the Self which includes spiritual, physical, mental and emotional aspects. Your unique expression of Self requires an approach tailored to your specific needs and style of learning. We will collaborate on the approach and your goals to ensure that you get what you need from therapy. We will also build in checkpoints to allow for course correction.

We are spiritual beings experiencing life in human form, but the challenges of our human condition can often overwhelm us. Spirituality involves reconnecting with our true nature as spiritual beings and pure awareness. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, helps us heal and release the burdens we carry throughout life, while also fully embracing our human nature. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career changes, life transitions, or struggles in relationships, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will uncover your inner wisdom and resilience.

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to support understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.

As a Registered Professional Counsellor and religious trauma recovery coach with a fundamentalist background, I help navigate the transition from religious to post-religious life. I understand the multiple losses that accompany religious deconversion: Community, purpose, identity, world view, employment (if clergy or missionary), and more. My clients come from a variety of authoritarian backgrounds including religious, political, and wellness. Together we explore the damage caused by indoctrination, developing a healthy & reality based worldview, creating a new identity, and how to build a healthy & supportive secular community.

Are you struggling to cope with events in your life? Have you experienced difficulties and you find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors to get through the day? Are you affected by the unhealthy behaviors of someone you care about? Perhaps you’re living in two worlds - trying to navigate despair while keeping your faith and dark struggles hidden and separated from one another. What if there were a space where you could bring ALL your “stuff”, share it, work through it, without judgment? Such a space can be life changing - helping you gather all your scattered pieces and find yourself again. That’s the space I hold for you.

Are you seeking support for religious trauma, complex trauma, your relationship with food and body, or scrupulosity OCD? Emotional, physical and spiritual pain can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. These disconnections can make it difficult to manage in our daily lives - let alone find support. However, I believe that therapy is one of the ways that we can begin the process of re-connecting with our selves, bodies, and communities. In our work together, I will seek to provide an openness that meets you where you’re at with empathy and non-judgement.

Living with ADHD is exhausting. You walk around everyday trying to escape the hamster wheel that just won't stop spinning. And worst, you have to mask around others just to appear "normal". You are drowning in even the simplest of tasks; living out of a laundry basket of unfolded clothes with day three of unwashed hair and did you even eat today? Life feels like chaos all the time! Did we mention the focus and time? Your probably even reading this after doom scrolling for the past three hours. But don't beat yourself up because of it. I'm Neurodivergent too; and I understand! Life doesn’t have to fit together perfectly like Lego!

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
