At the Wild Art Therapy Collective, counseling therapists are trained in our Transpersonal Counseling Therapy approach.
As a trained Transpersonal Counseling Therapist with more than 10 years of professional experience, I work both in and outside the box of traditional talk therapy. I coach parents and first time fathers, provide concrete tools for technology addictions and emotional challenges, offer deep counseling therapy for trauma survivors and psycho-spiritual support for people exploring beyond the material world for answers. If we can meet in person, we have access to several different locations in Nova Scotia for Wilderness Therapy with horses, ocean, forests, rivers and plants. If we can only meet online, we'll open to the Wild near you.

My approach to trauma therapy is rooted in transpersonal, humanistic, somatic, and nature-based modalities.
Healing from trauma isn't about "fixing" something that's broken within you; it's a profound unravelling of rediscovering and embracing the parts of yourself that have remained hidden in the shadows of fear and chaos. It's about dismantling destructive patterns created out of survival so that you can reconnect and come home to your authentic SELF. It's about learning to live with a full range of experiences and emotions and feeling as though you are capable, worthy, and enough.

Children are ideal candidates for early intervention and lasting change is often realized in a short amount of time. In my work with teens, I use a holistic, mindful approach, offering them tools and guidance.

You are not alone in seeking greater purpose in life. Some have suggested that in our time, we are experiencing a "meaning crisis." Our purpose may be hidden in plain sight: everyday experiences of relationship and career, community and culture, grief and longing. We feel stuck in the stresses of a fast-paced modern life: making a living, digital technology and screen time. We need to carve out time and space for reflection on priorities, to get clear on what's really important and what's getting in the way of living well. As Carl Jung once said, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.

When we are experiencing a stressful life event, a challenging medical diagnosis or chronic condition, or just facing a difficult period of our life, it is not uncommon that we may feel overwhelmed with new changes, unsettled thoughts and emotions, and need someone to talk to. Both individuals and caregivers may feel stressed and uncertain about the future. As we encounter life's difficulties, we all may need help coping at some point in our life. I am committed to helping my clients ease their distress, and find a healthy sense of well-being and more helpful and bonding connections in their relationships.

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti Although things are getting better in some regards, outdated societal pressures and norms, as well as modern technology and newly implemented ways of living are weighing heavy on many of us. Anxiety is at an all-time peak, addiction continues to climb and although we have more comforts than at any time in history, we are increasingly unhappy. If you're feeling the strain of this, want to connect to something deeper within yourself, or are finding yourself more dysregulated than ever (with all the associated difficulties), let's connect.

Reaching out for help is a leap of trust, an answer to a deep inner longing. My healing journey has informed me in my work as a therapist. I work from a stance of "what is right with you, and what have you done to get you from there to here?" I make suggestions, and you practice. I welcome your input, especially when you think I make mistakes. You will learn about the gifts of imagination, and what it means to become aware of inner resources already present within. Knowing the difference between anxiety, stress, and worry is life changing. Awareness of an inner life as well as an outer life brings one to a place of inner peace.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
