brass bird counselling
Psychotherapy rooted in the cyclical nature of life.
Psychotherapy
Sessions
Soul Work
Body and Mind disconnected from Soul leads to illness, unrest, disturbance. With patience and attunement, the Soul can be heard whispering the way back to wholeness, and dare I say, purpose.
Orientation
The language of Soul is symbolic and archetypal, and sometimes requires a translator. My goal as psychotherapist is to listen deeply for the message underlying the symptoms, struggle and suffering.
Story-Telling
In our modern world, we often miss the cues and signals that indicate a shift into a new chapter in our lives. It is never too late to pick up the plot and re-engage the unfolding story of your life.
Benefits

Nurture
Step out of your ordinary routine and deepen the connection to your inner world.

Develop
... larger archetypal patterns at work in your life and the whispers of your soul.
... a relationship to the parts of Self that make up your internal world and learn self-care.
Framework
Internal Family Systems
Also known as “parts-work”, I find this to be a very helpful way of re-orienting clients into a new relationship to Self. I seek to help clients identify, engage, relate and re-parent parts as appropriate.
Focusing
Focusing is a helpful framework for learning to listen to the body and unlock the wisdom within. Learning from thoughts, images, memories, sensations and emotions arising from the body in the present moment.
Imaginal Journeying
A combination of Internal Family Systems & Jungian Active Imagination designed to guide clients into dis-identifying and un-merging from parts and beginning to relate from Self towards parts in need.
My Clients
Recognize the spiralic nature of reality and the non-linear path
Working with me is a way-finding process. My commitment is to helping be a clear mirror for you to see your life, your choices, your patterns. We cannot change what we cannot name.
Bring their weirdness/uniqueness to the therapeutic relationship
Whether it’s your unique way of connecting to the divine, your mystical practices, your strange encounters, experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness - I welcome it all!
Long to be held in sacred sisterhood/siblinghood
I see myself as held by a sacred web of sisters, mothers, aunties, grandmothers. And no, you don’t have to be a woman to work with me, but I do come from a place of deep connection to the feminine.

I acknowledge that I am engaging in the practice of Soul-work on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People. Reverence for the importance of lineage, elders, and ancestral wisdom have led me to ongoing active inquiry into my personal role in perpectuating colonial practices. I am engaged in the ongoing practice of learning what is mine to do, including grief-work and devotion to ancestral healing as a way of life.
