IFS Training: Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems Institute provides training in IFS to practitioners through intensive programs called Level One, Level Two and Level Three. At any point a year or after taking a Level One training a practitioner can apply to become a Certified IFS Therapist with IFS-I by completing further learning, supervision and by having had their work reviewed and accepted by an approved IFS-I certifier. Derek Scott also provides training in IFS and anyone that has completed his Skills and Competencies Course is considered IFS Informed.
IFIO Training: Intimacy from The Inside Out (IFIO) is a form of couples therapy with its roots in IFS. Toni Herbine-Blank and the IFS-I provide a special Level Two (IFIO) that teaches this couples protocol. In addition Toni provides Advanced IFIO trainings.

As an Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist, we can combine intention and goal-setting with psychotherapeutic approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support your healing journey.
Update: I am currently not accepting new individual therapy clients, but please keep an eye out for my group offerings, like The Open Hearth, a drop-in peer support group for people living with chronic illnesses.
About Me:
I have lived experience with chronic pain and complex PTSD.
I understand what it’s like to function without spoons, to feel depleted, and to carry fear about the future.
I'm not here to dismiss your experience. I'm here to witness it with care.
I apply critical and decolonial theories and transfeminist approaches (E.g., critical race theory, critical disability theory, decolonial transfeminism) in my practice.
I am happy to support you in exploring and reconnecting with spiritual practices that hold personal meaning for you. This may include discussing your spiritual beliefs, cultural traditions, aspirations, rituals, and/or desires.
I am a Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) provider, which means sessions with First Nations and Inuit clients can be covered by the government.
As an Occupational Therapist (OT), I also support disability advocacy (accommodations, funding applications, vocational rehabilitation) and bring both lived experience and professional training in mental and physical health.
I care and won’t pretend that I don’t - I am not a robot! I am an imperfect and real human.
