Something brought you here. Maybe it’s the pattern that keeps showing up no matter how much you understand it. Maybe it’s the anxiety that’s been running in the background for so long it feels like part of your personality. Maybe something happened or a lot of somethings happened and you’ve been carrying it quietly ever since.
You don’t need to have the words for it yet. You just need to show up.
What individual counselling with me actually looks like:
Sessions are 60–90 minutes. We work at a pace that your nervous system can actually handle which means we don’t push through. We don’t force. We go at the speed of trust.
We use a combination of somatic awareness, parts based work, and trauma informed approaches including EMDR when appropriate.
That means we work with your body, not just your mind. Because real change doesn’t happen only in your head. It happens in the nervous system, in the patterns, in the parts of you that learned to survive long before you had words for any of it.
This might be for you if:
Every session, every client, every step of the work - this is the thread that runs through all of it.
Safety
Before anything else, we create safety. In the room, in your body, in the relationship between us. Nothing real can happen without it. This isn’t a step we rush through, it’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Parts Work
We meet the parts of you that have been running the show. The people pleaser, the perfectionist, the one who shuts down, the one who’s always bracing for impact. We don’t try to get rid of them. We get curious about them because every single one showed up for a reason.
Emotional Release
When it’s safe enough, the body starts to let go of what it’s been holding. This isn’t about forcing emotion or performing healing. It’s about creating enough space that what needs to move finally can.
Rewrite the Story
The narrative you’ve been living inside isn’t the only one available to you. Once we understand where it came from and what it was protecting, we can begin to write something truer. Something that belongs to who you actually are not who you learned to be.
Integration
This is where the work becomes your life. Not a session, not a concept, something you actually carry with you. We weave it into how you move through your days, your relationships, your body, your choices.

These five pillars aren’t a checklist. They’re not linear. They weave through every session, every conversation, every moment of this work together. Wherever you are this is where we begin.
Polyvagal informed therapy understanding how your nervous system shapes your responses, your relationships, and your sense of safety. Not as a concept. As something you can actually feel and work with.
Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed)
meeting the parts of you that have been running the show. The perfectionist, the people pleaser, the one who shuts down. We don’t try to get rid of them. We get curious about them. Because every single one showed up for a reason.
Somatic EMDR
working with the body’s stored experience. Your body remembers things your mind has moved on from. Somatic EMDR helps release what’s been held there so you can actually move forward.

Counselling services may be covered under your extended health benefits plan. Check with your provider to confirm your coverage. I provide receipts for reimbursement.
Not sure if we’re the right fit?
Book a free 15 minute consultation, no commitment, just a conversation. It’s a chance for you to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and figure out together whether individual counselling or the group program is the better fit for where you’re at right now.
A note on fit:
Individual counselling is a powerful container and I want to make sure it’s the right level of support for you. If you’re currently in active crisis, I want to help you find what you actually need. Reach out and I’ll point you toward the right resources or level of care.
I don’t direct bill insurance at this time. However, many extended health benefit plans include coverage for counselling services. Check with your provider to see if your plan covers a Registered Professional Counsellor. I’ll provide a receipt after each session for you to submit for reimbursement.
Most clients start with weekly or biweekly sessions. We’ll figure out what makes sense for you based on what you’re working through and your capacity.
The first session is just us getting to know each other. No agenda, no pressure, no homework. Just a conversation. You set the pace from the very first session.
Individual counselling is one on one and goes at your pace, more private and deeply tailored to you. Growing Into You is a group program that adds the power of community and shared experience. Some women do both. We can talk through what feels right for where you’re at.
