Guided by unconditional positive regard and an understanding that trauma is what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness, we will make room for the yet imagined or spoken, allowing space and time for your voice to move freely as we reflect and explore the beauty of the human condition.
Inspired by your own life perspectives and capacity to heal, l practice collaboratively-attuned integrative therapy; combining psychology, existential philosophy, movement, and mindfulness with elements of evidence-based practices—including the Tri-Phasic Trauma Model and Somatic Experiencing—to create a tailored approach for each individual story.
As a PhD candidate researching how Bildungsroman memoirs of initiated personhood may help free the grasp of intergenerational trauma, I currently receive clinical supervision at a Toronto Trauma Centre where I provide psychotherapy for those in our community who have experiences that are too much, too fast, and too soon.

“If you can see what that one person has walked through, from their earliest time, from all their growing up time, through everything they wanted to believe in that didn’t believe in them, through everything that couldn’t last, through every heartbreak that got them to today, you would fall down on your knees in awe, and there would never be another stranger.”
— Stephen Jenkinson
