My Philosophy
I’m so glad you’re here! Reaching out for support is one of the first steps towards making positive changes in your life. My name is Kira and I use she/her pronouns. I think it’s important that we understand wellness through a whole-person lens; including our environmental context & intersectional realities. My work tends to focus on treating trauma, including a variety of complex challenges such as Anxiety, Depression, C-PTSD, PTSD, Childhood Trauma/Attachment Trauma, Self-Esteem issues and Relationship Conflict.
I believe that you are ultimately the expert of your own experience, and my role is to support you in accessing your inherent wisdom and natural ability to heal. I strive to provide my clients with information, tools, and most importantly compassion while they navigate their challenges.
No matter what you’ve been through or are going through, things can get better! If you’d like to learn more about our options in working together, please send me an email. I am honoured to do this work, and I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude for your interest in including me on your journey!

Psychedelic-assisted therapy
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of professionals including medical and mental-health clinicians, and this approach has several phases including screening, preparation, dosing, and integration.
It’s important to note that—while neither better nor worse—psychedelic therapy is different from other contexts where people use psychedelics, such as recreational, ceremonial, and/or traditional indigenous spaces.
While psychedelic assisted therapy shows some promising benefits for mental health outcomes, it also has been shown to pose some risks. At this point, more research is needed to fully understand things like why & how these states/substances can be beneficial, why & how they can be harmful, when are they beneficial/harmful, and to whom they are seen to be most beneficial/pose the most risk of harm.
To learn more about this therapy approach, whether or not you might be a good candidate for this approach, and your options in accessing this therapy, please feel welcome to reach out to me and I’d be happy to find a time to connect.
More Information
I use the therapeutic approaches that are the most appropriate fit for your concerns based on present research recommendations in conjunction with your own perspectives and worldview. I am deeply committed to ethical practice and take care to remain up-to-date on research and practice standards.
