Founder, Heal 2 inc (The Compassion Project)

Ed.D,  Registered Psychotherapist

(Hamilton Office & Online)

I am the Founder & Clinical Director of the Compassion Project. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, and Canadian Certified Counsellor-Supervisor, with a Doctorate degree in Counselling Psychology from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.

 

I am passionate about mental health and addiction care and have worked alongside first responders and healthcare providers throughout my career. 

 

I have dedicated my career to helping others and in particular to helping heal caregivers. I am a clinical supervisor and a therapist for therapists. Most importantly, I am queer neurodivergent individual. A person who has lived and survived trauma. Recovery is at the forefront of my life's work. 

​

One of my greatest strengths is being incredibly disarming. I have the ability to put folks at ease and can facilitate a greater understanding and awareness of capacity for change.

​

I often use humour and radical acceptance within my approach. I am a compassionate caregiver who gets truly excited to be a part of someone's healing journey. I am learning more about spiritual emergence practice and intuitive healing, gifts I am cultivating later on in life. 

​

I provide counsellor and psychotherapist supervision and psychotherapy. MODALITIES: IFS level 2; Somatic IFS, EMDR, EGO STATE (parts work, inner child) Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, SSP (Polyvagal), ACT, CBT, DBT, MI, SFBT and other postmodern approaches, GOTTMAN LEVEL 1.
