MENTORSHIP

“What saves a (wo)man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step but you still must take it.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

One-to-One Sessions

Supporting individuals on their journeys.

Midlife

Compass

“When the storm hits, you might not be able to see where you’re going. Trust your compass-it’s still pointing north.”

What is your north star? What guides your steps? Applying wilderness principles to every-day life, we break down overwhelming situations into manageable tasks.

Navigating the Storm

“Start where you are, then go from there.”

I offer proven strategies, resources and advocacy; helping clients, their families and supporters better understand and navigate the complex mental health challenges surrounding post-concussion syndrome and/or PTSD.

Psych Harm-Reduction and Support

“Decision making is a skill, not a judgement.”

I assist individuals considering or preparing for psychedelic experiences or coming off psychiatric drugs. Work focuses on clarifying intent; ensuring self- and situational safety; and ensuring support.

ReSTORYing the Soul

“It’s not the ‘what happened’ that causes the pain. It’s the stories we create about the ‘what happened’ that cause the pain.”

The ability to abandon old stories and to craft new one is at the heart of post-traumatic growth. I help craft personal narratives beyond trauma and “mental illness” and offer editing for individuals looking to write their personal stories or return to the workforce following extended leaves.

TESTIMONIALS

“It seems so insufficient just to say thank you. You have helped me understand many of [my daughter‘s] behaviours and helped me think about my responses to her. You have also given me the best information for help that I have found so far.”

– Vivian D

"Her knowledge is awesome, and makes me want to learn more! She’s so in tune with what's going on around her. She makes people instantly comfortable and it's so easy to talk to her."

- Jackie M

“LOVE THIS! Your student resources are fantastic. Your worksheets are great - I think I may use them myself!”
