Trauma Therapy
and Clinical Supervision
Supporting Queer Folks, Fellow Therapists, and Anyone Healing from Trauma
"A bird on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because its trust is not on the branch
but on its own wings." - Charlie Wardle
Individual Therapy
Living in this world is hard, even more so when it feels like you don't have your own back. Self-criticism, low self-esteem, and a history of trauma can make day to day life much harder than it needs to be. Abuse, neglect, bullying, and oppression all leave a lasting impact on our quality of life. Luckily, there are wonderful tools to heal these emotional wounds.
​
I work with queer folks, fellow therapists, and anyone looking to heal their relationship to themselves/their trauma, in a way that is affirming of neurodiversity, celebrates difference, and acknowledges the harms caused by the world we live in.
​
I'm trained in evidence-based trauma treatments such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic approaches. I'm informed by polyvagal theory, neurobiology, and attachment theory and I'm constantly updating my training.
​
I welcome clients who practice ENM, who engage in kink, who are seeking support with psychedelic integration, who have chosen to be childfree, or who otherwise have lifestyles or experiences that fall outside the 'norm'. All parts of you are welcome here.
About Me
.jpg)
I've been practicing psychotherapy since 2014 and I adore this work. I'm committed to my own personal therapy, am constantly updating my therapeutic skills, and regularly consult with trusted colleagues to make sure you're getting excellent care.
​
Before I became a therapist, I got a degree in Philosophy and was heavily involved in queer, activist, and literary communities. I remain invested in social justice and the arts and identify as queer.
​
I know that doing the deep work in therapy can feel really vulnerable, especially if you experience any kind of marginalization, and I try my hardest to make therapy feel as safe as possible. One of the ways I do this is by talking openly with you about your needs in an ongoing way, taking accountability for my mistakes, and working through any uncomfortable moments that might come up between us.
​
Here's a list of the most relevant trainings I've taken:
- Internal Family Systems Levels 1 & 2 with IFS Institute (2024)
- Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration with Numinus (2023)
- IFS-Informed EMDR with Bruce Hersey (2022)
- Trauma and Internal Family Systems with Richard C. Schwartz (2021)
- IFS: Treating Relational and Complex Trauma with Frank Anderson (2019)
- EMDR Basic Training with Niagara Stress and Trauma Clinic (2020)
- Level 1 with Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (2017)
- Level 1 with Emotion Focused Therapy Clinic (2015)
About Supervision
I offer clinical supervision to therapists who are registered with, or working toward being registered with, the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have met the criteria laid out by the CRPO to provide supervision, including completing 30 hours of supervision training and working in the field for more than five years.
​
My style of supervision is non-judgmental and supportive, with an emphasis on theory and skills, as well as the self-awareness and personal development of the clinician (e.g. exploring what comes up for you that might be getting in the way of doing your best work). Aside from the modalities I mention on this website, I broadly identify with the Existential-Humanistic branch of psychotherapy, with a generous dose of Psychodynamic mixed in. Though I'm familiar with many cognitive and behavioral modalities, I do not personally feel aligned with this way of working. If what I've said resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.
​
(Please note that I cannot provide a placement setting at this time, but can provide off-site supervision to a placement student, or supervision for those who have completed their placement hours and are working toward independent practice.)
Fees & Policies
I charge $160 for a 50 minute psychotherapy appointment or a 50 minute supervision session, and I accept payment by e-transfer at the beginning of each meeting.
I provide receipts which you can submit to your insurance provider if they cover Registered Psychotherapists. I recommend checking with your provider in advance.
​
I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice of cancellations, otherwise I charge the regular appointment fee.
