Presentation/Workshop/Training
I am dedicated to promoting justice and accessibility, therefore I offer a sliding scale rate. In addition, I offer limited spots at a significantly reduced rate. Priority is given to individuals encountering structural barriers to accessing services, such as solo parents, disabled individuals, and those with low income. If you are facing financial constraints, please don't hesitate to mention this. For a comprehensive understanding of my justice-oriented sliding scale approach, you may find this page insightful.
My services are covered by most Extended Health Benefits Plans.

Counselling
My counselling approach is holistic, person-centred, and collaborative - which means as much as 'together we explore what works best for you'. With compassion, curiosity and a little bit of non-conformity, I help you examine the parts of you and your life that feel challenging to help you move toward where you wish to be in your life.
​
My practice is deeply grounded in the belief that everything is interconnected. I believe it is important to look beyond what goes on inside of you and consider the impact of your connections and the world around you. I am greatly inspired by critical theory and use a social and ecological justice lens in my work.
​
I draw from approaches with a focus on mindfulness and somatic awareness such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Polyvagal Theory, as well as approaches that consider different parts of you and the stories you have about yourself and the world such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy.
​
Maybe most importantly, I ground my work in the belief that we are all capable of healing, growing, and changing.
Ecotherapy
Ecotherapy therapy is also known as Nature-based therapy or Green Therapy. It is a therapeutic approach that involves connecting with nature as a way to promote mental and emotional well-being.
Ecotherapy recognizes the interconnectedness between human well-being and the health of our planet. Put simply: when we connect with nature, it takes care of us, and in return, we are more likely to take steps to reciprocate this and protect our environment.
Ecotherapy is considered a holistic and experiential approach to therapy that takes various forms. Just like 'regular' counselling, we explore the challenges you are navigating and the hopes and strengths you have. Bringing therapy outside via walks and sit-spots invites you to be present and grounded, use your senses, be curious and playful, and interact with the living systems around you.
​
Though ecotherapy is most effective when we outside, connecting with nature, it can be effectively incorporated into virtual sessions. Ultimately, it is about remembering and honouring our connection with the Earth and seeking ways to promote your healing.
Education
As a lifelong learner with over a decade of experience in education in a variety of roles, I offer presentations, workshops, and training for schools, companies, and organizations centered around well-being and mental health. My services are designed to provide individuals and teams with the knowledge and skills they need to promote mental health and well-being in their communities.
​
My approach to presenting and teaching is highly adaptive and inclusive, recognizing and honoring the variety of learning styles and neurodiversity. I emphasize engaging, hands-on, and experiential presenting and teaching methods to ensure that all participants are actively involved and can apply what they learn in real-world contexts. By creating interactive and supportive learning environments, I aim to foster a deeper understanding and commitment to mental health and well-being among individuals and teams.
