Meet the Counsellor

Hi, I’m Sydney.

I am a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling – Provisional (MPCC-Provisional #4747), in good standing with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association.

My approach blends creativity, somatic practices, and nonverbal modalities with compassionate, client-centered care. I draw on my background in wellness, energy healing, expressive arts, and life experience to provide a holistic, accessible, and adaptable therapy space. This includes working with clay, art, movement, and sensory exploration—tools that help clients process emotions, regulate the nervous system, and express themselves when words are not enough.

My passion for traumatic brain injury and concussion support comes from personal experience. A few years ago, I was hit by a car and experienced a severe concussion. The recovery was confusing, painful, and grief-filled, and finding adequate support was a challenge. That journey inspired the path I walk today: combining research-informed approaches with creative, embodied methods, and following the unique needs of each client.

I support neurodivergent and disabled folks, as well as anyone navigating trauma or brain injury, in finding healing that feels soft, authentic, and possible.

Outside the counselling room, you can find me connecting with nature, creating art, baking treats, and nurturing meaningful relationships with friends and family.

 My Values

  • I believe in using creative and artistic techniques to move through your unique process. There is no cookie cutter way through the recovery journey, and each session may look wildly different from the next.

  • Emotional, physical, and spiritual boundaries are paramount to the recovery process. I respect your personal boundaries, as well as hold my own professional boundaries as a counsellor.

  • I offer different resources and ways to work together at different pay grades in order to make healing and recovery more accessible.

  • I am here to support you in showing up as your full self, by showing up as my full self each and every day. With me, you can expect silly jokes, honest reflections, and genuine excitement for all your successes.
