NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
Last updated: April 2024
I see anyone 18 and over for individual or group therapy.
I offer sliding scale appointments for Black and/or Indigenous trans and two-spirit clients with financial barriers.
If your insurance covers services provided Canadian Certified Counsellors, you will be able to submit receipts for reimbursement. At this time, I am unable to provide direct billing to insurance plans.
My Approach
I believe that curiosity and humility about our role in systems of oppression, in our relationships to ourselves, and in our relationships to each other are some of the most important skills we can learn. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be kept company in the hard parts of being a person. I am an abolitionist and I primarily use systemic, person-centred/humanistic, somatic, solutions-focused, and feminist therapies.
Training
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC, member #11241795). I graduated from Athabasca University’s Master of Counselling program in 2022 and I completed a 400-hour practicum at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. I have completed advanced level training in Somatic Experiencing. As a new practitioner, I am committed to ethical growth and receive regular supervision from a Registered Psychologist.

Feedback from Workshop Participants
"I loved the visuals, the role plays and the tools for beginning to think of systems differently (and interconnectedly). This was a great introduction and it could probably be a weekend retreat if you really wanted to delve deep!"
"I personally found the session so useful and informative and a great catalyst for personal and organizational reflection, change, growth, etc! I’m sure the participants did as well." -Workshop Organizer
"I wanted to thank you again for the 'Anti-Oppression and Allyship' presentation this week. I came out of it with a feeling of being a bit healed and empowered."
