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

I’m a Registered Social Worker (#17965) offering individual and group counselling for adults navigating change, healing, or self-discovery.

My approach is grounded in collaboration, connection, and compassion. I believe that healing happens through relationship- within ourselves, with one another, and in community.

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. That background continues to shape my approach- integrating curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to understanding people in the context of their whole lives.

Many of the people I work with are integrating trauma, experiencing identity or relational shifts, navigating change and/or systemic oppression, and moving through the tender thresholds of life- including reproductive decision-making, the perinatal period, loss, growth, and uncertainty.

I offer a space where you can explore 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 affirming of all identities, bodies, and communities. This doesn’t mean I won’t make mistakes along the way- I am deeply committed to repair, feedback and re-evaluating the way I do things.

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

Additional Trainings:

  • Ketamine- assisted Therapy (Ongoing- Roots to Thrive)

  • Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy (Ongoing-Therapsil)

  • EMDR Basic Training (EMDR Consulting)

  • Complex Trauma Certificate Training (PESI)

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

You can take your time. You can take a breath. You can start from wherever you are.
