Healing isn’t a destination- it is the quiet return to yourself, again and again.

I’m a Registered Social Worker offering individual and group counselling for people navigating change, healing and self-discovery.

My approach is grounded in collaboration, connection, and compassion. I specialize in working with people who are navigating life transitions, self-discovery, and the complexities of perinatal and reproductive mental health. I have received additional training in reproductive and perinatal mental health, trauma and complex trauma.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a research assistant in the field of critical health supporting projects focused on lived experience, community wellbeing, and the impacts of systemic oppression. This continues to shape my approach- integrating curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to understanding people in the context of their whole lives.

I offer you a space where you can do the courageous work of exploring yourself, your patterns, and your possibilities.

Hi! I’m Jack…

Counselling Approach

I draw from a range of modalities, including relational, parts work, EMDR, DBT, and mindfulness. I tailor my support to fit your needs- whether you’re working through a tough patch or seeking a shift in perspective.

My approach is trauma- informed, anti-oppressive and seeks to be affirming of all identities, bodies, and communities.

I engage regularly in ongoing study, supervision, and self-reflection.

Additional Trainings:

  • Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy (Ongoing-Therapsil)

  • Ketamine- assisted Therapy (Roots to Thrive, 2026)

  • EMDR Basic Training (EMDR Consulting)

  • Complex Trauma Certificate Training (PESI)

  • Birth and Reproductive Trauma (Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings)
