Treatment Specialties

Chronic Illness

Journey through the complex terrain of chronic illness with compassionate awareness. Together, we'll explore the different aspects of your experience—from managing symptoms to processing fears—while honoring your body's innate wisdom. I offer support in building a more harmonious relationship with your health challenges, reconnecting with your core resilience, and reclaiming agency in your healing journey beyond conventional diagnosis.

Anxiety & Depression

Approach anxiety and depression with curious compassion rather than judgment. We'll gently explore the protective nature of these experiences and the patterns they create in your life. Through this process, you'll discover your natural capacity for calm and clarity that exists beneath difficult emotions. Our work together helps restore balance to your whole system, reconnecting you with your inherent wellbeing.

Relationship and Family Challenges

Relationship difficulties often reflect deeper patterns within ourselves. When connections become strained, we'll explore what gets activated in difficult interactions and the beliefs these patterns carry. By developing greater awareness and presence, you'll learn to respond from a centered place rather than reactive patterns, creating more authentic connections that honor both your needs and deeper values.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma creates protective patterns across your entire being. My approach honors how these patterns once served to keep you safe, while creating space for transformation. Through gentle witnessing, we allow these protective responses to be acknowledged and understood at their own pace, facilitating genuine healing and integration that flows from your deepest wisdom.

Stress Management

Stress activates protective responses that often become habitual—from hypervigilance to withdrawal. Together, we'll identify these patterns with compassion, understanding their protective intentions while developing your capacity for centered awareness. Learn to recognize when these responses are activated and restore harmony through practices that invite your whole system back into its natural balance and flow.

Grief & Loss

Your grief experience is multifaceted and unique. Some aspects of yourself may rush to move on, while others hold deep sorrow or disbelief. I create space to acknowledge all these dimensions without forcing resolution, helping you process loss with compassion while finding your own authentic path through grief—one that honors what's been lost while allowing for continuing connection to your life's unfolding story.

common questions

I can direct bill some insurers. Please check with your provider for coverage details.

Due to liability and insurance policies, I cannot provide both counselling and holistic services to the same client at the same time. If you’re a counselling client and wish to explore holistic support, we can discuss transitioning your care accordingly.

Virtual sessions are conducted through a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform. You’ll receive a private link before your appointment, and all you need is a quiet space, reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.

Our first session focuses on understanding your current concerns, background, and goals for therapy. I’ll explain my approach, answer any questions you have, and we’ll collaborate on creating an initial plan for our work together.

Therapy can benefit anyone seeking support, growth, or change in their lives. You might consider therapy if you’re experiencing persistent emotional distress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply want to deepen your self-understanding. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your unique situation and determine if my approach aligns with your needs. Many people find that having a dedicated time and space to explore their concerns with a trained professional provides clarity and relief that’s difficult to achieve on their own. Remember that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and you can always try a session or two to see if it feels helpful for you.

Research shows that virtual counselling can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many concerns. My holistic approach adapts well to the virtual environment, and many clients appreciate the convenience and comfort of connecting from their own space.

I typically recommend starting with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish our therapeutic relationship. As you progress, we’ll transition to bi-weekly sessions and eventually to less frequent meetings. The pace is always collaborative, based on your unique needs and progress toward your goals. We’ll regularly assess and adjust our schedule to provide the right level of support at each stage of your journey.

Yes, all therapy sessions are confidential. I follow strict professional ethics and legal requirements regarding privacy. The information shared in our sessions will not be disclosed to others without your written consent. There are specific legal limitations to confidentiality that include: risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected child or elder abuse, or if records are subpoenaed by court order. I’ll explain these exceptions in detail during our first session and answer any questions you have about privacy.

Forest Walk Therapy combines traditional counselling approaches with the healing benefits of nature. During these sessions, we engage in mindful walking and therapeutic conversation in natural settings, allowing the restorative qualities of the forest environment to enhance our work together.

While many people benefit from nature-based approaches, Forest Walk Therapy may not be suitable for all concerns or individuals. During our consultation, we’ll determine if this approach aligns with your specific needs, physical abilities, and access to suitable outdoor spaces.

For in-person Forest Walk Therapy sessions, we’ll make a decision about weather conditions at least 2 hours before our scheduled time. In case of rain, thunderstorms, extreme temperatures, or other inclement weather, we have several options: rescheduling to another day, switching to a virtual session, or utilizing covered natural areas like pavilions when available. Your safety and comfort are the priority. 

Please dress comfortably for the weather conditions and wear sturdy, closed-toe footwear suitable for uneven terrain. Consider bringing layers, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), insect repellent when seasonally appropriate, and a small water bottle. You may also want to bring any personal items that help you feel comfortable outdoors, such as a walking stick or small cushion to sit on during reflection exercises. The focus is on being present in nature rather than hiking, so specialized equipment isn’t necessary – just clothing that allows you to move easily and stay comfortable in the elements.
