Align Therapy provides trauma-informed,
client-centred counselling focused on safety, connection, and empowerment, supporting clients to reclaim self, grow, and align with what matters most to you.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I also recognize that navigating the complex layers of our experiences sometimes requires the support of a professional who can help uncover patterns, clarify insight, and identify meaningful solutions. My approach is grounded in a solution-focused lens, drawing from Somatic-Based Therapy, Response-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) including Exposure and Response Based (ERP) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to help you find congruence, alignment and balance in your life.

I am certified clinical trauma and polyvagal psychotherapist meaning I practice from a trauma-informed framework, carefully building self-resources of safety while navigating distress. I have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of trauma histories, including PTSD and C-PTSD as well as religious trauma and religious deconstruction (de-identification). I am an ally and work with many members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I support individuals living with neurodivergence and chronic illness. My practice includes supporting the psychological, emotional, and relational changes that arise during major life transitions, such as perimenopause and menopause.

At this time I provide counselling services for adults (19+) only.

"Congruence is the body’s love language" Dr. Arielle Schwartz

“The vagus nerve is deeply plugged into our heart, our guts, and our voice. Whenever we turn inward to check in with our true feelings; to check in with our intuitive wisdom; or to find our true expressiveness, we’re lighting up the vagus nerve. Whenever our face reflects what we’re really feeling or experiencing, the vagus nerve is at work. Whenever we plug into the rhythms of ourselves or the world around us, we’re lighting up the vagus nerve.” Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle
