Counselling
Through my private practice Mending Minds, I offer virtual individual psychotherapy grounded in trauma-informed care and feminist principles, serving clients in Ontario, CA
My practice is built on the belief that healing is possible — and that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change.
How I Work
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic practice is rooted in trauma-informed care and feminist counselling. My approach challenges traditional forms of service delivery informed by the medical model, centering the lived experiences and strengths of my clients.
My years of experience in women's services — particularly in the areas of addiction and mental health — inform a practice that is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply attentive to the social determinants of wellbeing.
"Healing is not linear — and every person's path is their own."
