My website
I am a mental health accredited social worker, trauma counsellor and supervisor with 15+ years’ experience working in social justice, therapeutic, community and systems change spaces. I am a white colonial-settler on stolen lands. Together we can explore what feels most important to you — your stories, challenges, embodied responses, questions, hopes and anything else you wish to bring. I use a blend of talking and body-based approaches to support safety, connection, and meaningful change. The work is always collaborative and guided by the hopes, intentions, goals and pace that matter to you.
It is my practice to witness and co-create with you a space of respect, curiosity, choice and agency. I have an endless interest in better understanding how systems and power shape our experiences. My approach is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, collaborative, intersectional and de-colonial. I offer both short and long-term work.
If you would like to explore working with me, and have an opportunity to begin to feel out whether we might be a good fit for each other, please reach out via email for a 15-min conversation.
