ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS:

Do you sometimes wish things could be different?  On my own path, that type of heartfelt longing and creative intuition sparked a lifelong love of creativity and art making. Even as a small child I found my whole body/mind entered what I later learned was a creative flow state. The innate wisdom of my biological system’s internal compass pointed me toward a healing creative space of joy in connecting to what lit me up and made me feel more alive.  Eventually I was drawn to sharing creatively with others through teaching as well as using expressive and creative therapies with children and their families, often in care, residential treatment and sometimes in crisis.

Currently I work together with diverse individual clients.  We explore together what their system wants to look at, for example life's transitions and challenges as well as what lights them up.  We often land on peoples passions and what brings them most alive both inside and out.

My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. From an OI informed coaching perspective I follow your lead and we work experientially and in the moment.  I listen/witness, reflect, track and attune carefully in order to attend to where you are and what your system calls for.  We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that conversation, talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome in sessions.  We work and play flexibly between short term talk coaching and if it fits we sometimes explore expressive/creative arts while safely building our relational nest and co-creating our healing and therapeutic online studio space.

For folks looking for Organic Intelligence Coaching Services-I am certified as an OI Coach to work with you and other folks across the globe.

Although I am also a clinically trained MSW, RSW, RP (Masters degrees (Pratt Institute and Smith College), ATR-BC (Registered Art Therapist) I am not Registered to provide psychotherapy outside of Ontario and Nova Scotia Canada.

For folks looking for psychotherapy in either Ontario or Nova Scotia Canada: Social work services may be covered under your private health plan or employee group benefits plan (EAP, FEAP). Please check with your insurer to see whether MSW, RSW services are covered. If social work is not currently on the list of professional services covered in your insurance plan, ask that it be added. In both Ontario and Nova Scotia Canada I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker where I specialize in talk and creative therapies in those Provinces where I am registered to practice.  

I have devoted my career to working with children, youth and adults affected by trauma and since my OI training, now focus on Post Trauma Growth and Development.  My extensive clinical experience includes Hincks Dellcrest Centre for Children’s Mental Health (now The Hospital for Sick Children), York University and Toronto Catholic Family Services.

The Organic Intelligence® Coach Certification (OICC) program is a rigorous one-year, 200-hour immersion in OI’s Post-Trauma Growth methods. Taught to thousands worldwide, OI Coaching is a deeply attuned conversational interaction that works directly with the growth trends of a client’s neurobiology, where participants come to:

  • Understand the science-based fundamentals of systems theory, graduate-level psychological theories, and mindfulness
  • Grow clients’ processing bandwidth, planning, and problem-solving abilities at the source: our human neurobiology
  • Recognize clients’ emergent states that lead naturally toward their biology becoming Auto-Organizing—the basis of self-healing
  • Work with an emphasis on relational attunement to the client in the here-and-now
