Hello, my name is Meghan. I’m a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (Provisional) with the Canadian Professional Counsellor Association (CPCA). I have an educational background in French language, literature and critical theory, a diploma in professional counselling, and specialized training in ADHD support, life coaching, somatic (body-based) techniques for clients who are chronically stressed and overwhelmed.

Like my clients, I’m doing my best to learn about myself and my loved ones, and I work to give myself compassion and grace when challenges and misunderstanding show up, as they inevitably do.

I don’t believe perfection is possible or healthy, though I once strived for it. Instead, I believe in the Land, life, and the flawed beauty of humanity. I believe in our resilience, creativity, and ability to care for each other and the world we live in.

Things that bring me joy include gardening, expressive arts and crafts like music, painting, making mixed media art and sewing. I’m stopping the scroll. I like learning, reading and being outside.

In counselling and in life, I aim to embody warmth, compassion, humour and honesty.

It’s deeply important to me to be an ally to people who find themselves at intersections of marginalized and/or racialized identities in white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal culture. I myself exist at some of those intersections, though I acknowledge my privileges as a mid-sized, white, educated woman.

I'm committed to unlearning the colonial overculture of modernity and working in community towards creating real, just and sustainable alternatives to the Wasteland.

I welcome feedback and corrections made in good faith.
