Clinical Supervision Available
In addition to clinical practice, I offer supervision to student and pre-licensed counsellors seeking relational, trauma-informed development.
My supervision style is reflective, steady, and growth-oriented.
Contact to discuss fee.
I work with individuals and families seeking long-term healing from sexual abuse, complex trauma, and relational harm. My approach is steady, relational, and trauma-informed, creating space for work that unfolds at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.
With over a decade of experience, including immersive work within Indigenous communities, I bring both clinical training and lived relational understanding to my practice. I value collaborative, culturally respectful work that honours individual and community context.
If you are carrying experiences that continue to shape your relationships, sense of safety, or self-understanding, support is available. Therapy can be a place to work thoughtfully and steadily toward integration and healing. When you feel ready, I welcome you to reach out.
