      <image:title>About Me - My name is Ebony. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of social work and over a decade of experience in community mental health and addictions treatment and private practice. I specialize in the treatment of shock and developmental trauma and have been trained in cognitive and somatically-oriented therapeutic modalities. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families facing a variety of issues such as interpersonal challenges, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and life-stress. I have also provided counselling services to individuals struggling with formally diagnosed mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. I enjoy working with individuals or couples that identify as queer, or that occupy any space along the broad continuums of sexual orientation and gender identity.</image:title>

      <image:title>Therapeutic Approach - When providing counselling services I use a blend of cognitive and somatically-oriented therapeutic interventions. Together these approaches examine how the mind interacts with the body, and how the body in turn interacts with the mind. It is in these bi-directional pathways that we are able to access our aliveness and life energy. These pathways also hold the clever and purposeful strategies that we have relied upon to get us through some of life’s most challenging circumstances.</image:title>

      <image:title>Therapeutic Approach - Fortunately, humans have an inborn capacity to heal from trauma. No matter how altered or irrevocably damaged we may perceive ourselves to be, there is a the part within us that continually seeks movement towards connection and vitality.</image:title>
