Counselling Services

As a Registered Social Worker with specialized holistic training, I integrate traditional therapeutic modalities with complementary wellness practices. This allows me to tailor our work together to your unique needs and preferences. I have a particular affinity for somatic work: we are so often in our heads and not our bodies which hold much wisdom and guidance that can help us navigate challenges. 

Current Therapeutic Modalities I Use:

• Mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating present-moment awareness which can reduce stress, enhance emotional resilience, and promote a greater sense of calm and clarity. By focusing on the here and now, you can develop a deeper connection to yourself, manage overwhelming thoughts, and respond to life’s challenges with greater intention and balance.
• Neural Network Therapy® (NNT): NNT is an education-based approach to      emotional wellness that helps rewire unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours by creating new, healthier neural pathways. This process promotes healing, personal growth, and emotional wellness by fostering change in how you think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): EFT helps people identify patterns of emotional      disconnection and strengthen their relational bonds. Rooted in attachment theory, EFT fosters healthier emotional expression, builds trust, and resolves relational challenges such as communication breakdowns or conflict. This process promotes deeper connection (with oneself and others), resilience, and secure relationships.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS is a therapeutic approach that helps you explore and harmonize your inner “parts”—different aspects of yourself—while fostering self-awareness, healing, and self-compassion. By understanding, developing a relationship with, communicating with and integrating these parts, you can release emotional burdens, reduce internal conflict, and move toward a more balanced and empowered sense of Self.
• Narrative Therapy: Narrative therapy helps you take a fresh look at the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what you’re capable of. These stories often shape how you feel, think, and act—sometimes in ways that hold you back. Together, we’ll explore those narratives, rewrite the ones that no longer serve you, and create new ones that reflect your strengths, values, and goals. It’s about stepping into the role of the main character in your life and feeling empowered to shape your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

For those exploring or who have explored the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, I offer support to help you prepare for and integrate these profound experiences. Preparation involves creating a safe, grounded, and intentional mindset for your journey, while integration helps you process and embody the insights gained, aligning them with your personal values and goals. By combining reflective dialogue, mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities, you will be supported in navigating challenging emotions, gaining deeper clarity, and transforming your insights into meaningful, lasting change.

Alongside counselling and psychotherapeutic approaches I bring a wealth of holistic practices to our sessions, creating a truly integrative experience. Calming the nervous system is a foundational part of my work and will help you access the depths of healing you’re looking for. My holistic tools include:

• Yoga (200hr Certified Teacher): Incorporating gentle movement or mindful      breathwork into your healing journey.
• Yoga Nidra Teacher & iRest Yoga Nidra (Levels 1 & 2): Deep relaxation techniques to help you access calm, clarity, and inner wisdom.
• Reiki (Master Level): Energy healing to support emotional and physical balance.
• Clinical Aromatherapy: Harnessing essential oils to promote relaxation and      well-being.

At Architecture of Wellness, I focus on Wellness Your Way. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. You are the expert of your life and your story and I am here as a support along the way. Together, we will design a wellness plan that reflects your goals, values, and preferences. Whether you’re looking to process past experiences, navigate life’s challenges, or simply reconnect with yourself, I will support you every step of the way. 

Each counselling session is grounded in collaboration and respect for your unique journey. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel brave, supported, and truly heard.

Here’s what you can expect from our time together:

• A Personalized Approach: We begin each session by checking in and exploring what’s most pressing for you that day.
• Empowering Tools: I’ll share practical techniques and strategies that empower you to take an active role in your healing journey.
• Integrated Modalities: Depending on your needs, our session may focus entirely on talking through challenges, or we may incorporate holistic practices. This could include mindfulness, breathwork, pulling cards, yoga postures to release emotions stored in the body, yoga nidra, or energy work to help shift what feels stuck.

Every session is a space for you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what healing means to you. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, processing emotions, or seeking clarity, we’ll work together to create meaningful change at your own pace.
