Areas We Can Explore Together
→ Challenges with Substance Use/Addiction/
Or Navigating Someone Else's Addiction
→ Underlying Trauma and
Attachment
→ Grief and Loss
Through exploring thoughts, feelings, and body sensations, we can focus on the ways of being that you would like to keep, let go, re-discover, or grow.
Using compassion and humour, we will gently sift through what’s holding you back, move towards more clarity, a sense of calm and be more aligned with the life that you want.
About me
I am a cis, white and queer settler. I am a registered Social Worker and have been practicing social work and psychotherapy since 2012.
I hold a Masters of Social Work from the University of Manitoba.
My experience working in various community mental health and substance use agencies has provided me with the privilege of working with a very diverse group of folks.
My background includes working with those who have experienced:
→ unresolved trauma→ challenges with substance use
→ addiction
→ navigating someone else's addiction
→ anxiety
→ post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
→ sexual abuse/assault
→ grief and loss
→ incarceration
When I'm not working I love being outside. I grow flowers and enjoy backcountry camping (something I started in my late 30's). When I'm out and about I say hello to every cat and dog I see. Your furry friends are always welcome in session.
I am 2SLGBTQ+ and sex positive.
I believe in harm reduction.
My clinical focus follows an approach that is:
Holistic
Feminist
Trauma-informed
Strengths-based
Anti-oppressive
& Intersectional.
I use a variety of different therapeutic modalities as everyone is unique, where we can discover what fits best for you.
These include but are not limited to:
→ mindfulness
→ narrative therapy
→ internal-family systems (parts work)
→ somatic- sensorimotor psychotherapy
→ cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
I am client-centred and practice regular check-ins to make sure we are following the path you want to be on.
