About

Founder & Trauma-Integrated Practitioner

Your healing doesn’t have to follow a clinical path.

 

With nearly a decade of specialized experience in trauma, I’ve supported people through life’s hardest moments, often when traditional systems failed to meet them.

In 2021, I founded the Anam Rural Youth Association, a nonprofit providing mobile, trauma-integrated mental health support to high-risk and marginalized youth across rural Central Alberta.

To expand this work beyond youth and offer deeper trauma processing for adults, I established Mt. Leinster Consulting, a private practice designed for people who’ve felt too much, been told they’re too complicated, or haven’t found a place to land in conventional care models.

Named after my home mountain range in Ireland, Mt. Leinster represents groundedness, belonging, and the strength it takes to walk a different path.

 

My approach is not therapy.  It’s not coaching.
It’s something in between: a rigorous, trauma-integrated, and human-first model grounded in:

• Applied Metapsychology
• Polyvagal Theory
• Community & Workplace Traumatology
• Constructivism
• Unconditional positive regard
• Person-centered care

Each session is relational, structured, and non-clinical, designed to support nervous system regulation and deep, meaningful change.

 

I also provide:

• Trauma-integrated consulting for organizations and community groups
• Custom workshops on regulation, vicarious trauma, and workplace well-being
• Speaking engagements on community-based care, youth mental health, and healing beyond systems

 

Areas of focus:

• Addictions
• Anxiety
• Childhood trauma
• Divorce
• Grief and loss
• Navigating suicidal ideation
• Neurodivergent support
• Trauma recovery
• Workplace and organizational trauma
