Specializing in somatic (body-based), nature-based, depth and existential counselling, my dog Hazel and I work alongside you to support your personal growth and healing. These frameworks are especially useful for folx who are struggling to find purpose and meaning, to heal from trauma, and to cultivate connection to the human and more-than-human-world. Together we work with embodiment, Soul, Spirit, archetypes, the natural world and dreams to move towards wholeness and health. I love working with queer folx across the spectrum. I also offer relationship counselling and welcome anyone with an interest in exploration into my practice
I work with a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness, somatic and body-awareness, existentialism, shadow work and the unconscious, nature-based therapy and spiritual perspectives. I encourage clients to lean into art, movement, writing, inquiry and dreamwork as pathways into creativity and connection to deeper Self. (Video on website.)
As your counsellor, I work to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space as you take your unique path to wellness. I bring a holistic perspective to mental health which integrates a variety of approaches and perspectives in our work together. I value this approach because I believe that when our challenges are multifaceted, our solutions must be too.

I specialize in supporting people to wayfind in dark, difficult times. This might surface as depression, in a time of grief or transition, or simply as a feeling of being lost or without meaning. Together we work to slow down, ground, attend to the body, dreams and symbols. We may draw on the natural world to revive a sense of safety and belonging.
