Therapists in V8W
Somatic Counselling, Psychedelic Integration & Intuitive Healing. I am not currently accepting new long term clients. I continue to offer short-term therapy and psychedelic integration.
I work with people who have done significant inner work and sense there is still something essential waiting to be accessed. For over 20 years, I have supported healing and growth through somatic therapy, expressive and arts-based approaches, and psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration. While the mind seeks understanding, the body knows the way to real change. Through the body’s somatic felt sense, clarity, resonance, and inner truth emerge.

How long will this last? Am I doomed to feel like this forever? It’s possible that you may be asking these questions. You might also be feeling alone - like no one else truly understands what you’re going through. Your worries play over and over in your head like a broken record, and you can't seem to just enjoy life and be yourself. Maybe you even feel like you’re broken. I've been a client in therapy myself, and I know some of these feelings.

Love of life/Nature, psychedelics, novel experiences, and death. These are common topics that we cover in our conversations. By learning about how concepts show up in our bodies, memories, thoughts, and experiences, we become more aware of the inner narratives that shape our reality.

My approach to counselling is grounded in the belief that relationship heals. I see trust and safety as the foundation of therapeutic work and I take a non-pathologizing approach to the human experience. I understand symptoms and difficult patterns and behaviours as messengers—meaningful calls for attention and wayfinders toward change.
I see each person as uniquely shaped by the many relationships and contexts that make up their lives—including their relationships with themselves, others, family, community, culture, and the wider social world.

People with ADHD are bright, empathetic, and creative. We often struggle with harnessing our uniquely wired brains to fit into a world built for neurotypicals. We know we are capable of so much more, but we're functioning well under that capacity. Examples of the issues we experience include time management, organization, remembering things and motivating ourselves to do things. Other forms of mental illness may accompany our ADHD. However, with some support, we can improve our systems for functioning in ways that are actually fun. We can also improve our intimate relationships, which makes life better all-round.

There are many moments throughout life that we are invited into deeper awareness. Often, these moments are catalyzed by experiences of profound suffering. You may be moving through a major life transition, processing an impactful experience, navigating relationship conflict, or experiencing loss of purpose. Many clients who seek an analytic approach are looking to move beyond conventional forms of therapy and toward profound soul work. Jungian Analysis can be a supportive container for those who wish to explore deeper ways of relating to themselves and others, and are open to the transformative power of working with dreams.
