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.

I provide meaningful support to those pursuing positive change, helping them live fully and authentically in connection with themselves and their relations. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating interpersonal concerns, life's transitions, and healing from past traumas. I provide counselling to private and insured clients under the supervision of registered psychotherapist, Bonney Elliot. I am gentle and curious in my approach, and bring my strengths of compassion, honesty, and a quality of stubbornness that I hope will be seen as an unfaltering commitment to support your journey and wellbeing.
As a globally-minded individual and a formerly trained Geographer, I hold awareness of pervasive systemic injustices and intergenerational traumas. That's why I look beyond diagnostic labels to truly appreciate what life is like to be you.
I bring a collaborative and relational approach to therapy. I endeavour to get to know the person that you are and understand the diversity of life experiences that have led you here. l deeply value safety, non-judgement, and the courage it takes to be open with another. That's why, with me, therapy always proceeds at the pace of relational trust.
