Couple & Individual Psychotherapy
For all individuals and couples looking for relationally-minded, practical, body-integrative and life-affirming therapy so they can improve their mental health, navigate relationships and life challenges, work with trauma, and grow a heartfelt sense of belonging to themselves and to each other.
Working with Brenda
I am a licensed Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Kingston, Ontario.
A poet, philosophy lover, and constant beneficiary of the steadying power of nature, I walk the path alongside clients as a guide. Therapy is conducted from a relational perspective through RLT, yoga-based somatics, existential, bibliotherapy, logotherapy, person-centered ACT, IFS, trauma, and narrative therapies alongside a smattering of CBT and DBT. I am currently completing extra training in Relational Life Therapy and am completing EMDR basic training in June, 2026.
I have a special interest in working with people experiencing Complex Trauma and people who are Intersex.
With 25 years of experience as a yoga teacher, I hold specialized training in living with chronic pain, deep rest, and restorative yoga, bringing these tools into the therapy room.
As a published poet with BAs in History and English, an MA in English, and an MFA in Creative Writing, I bring a love of poetry, reading, the more-than-human world, and philosophy into the therapy room.
The mother of 3, I live in a busy household in Kingston with my spouse, kids, and 4 pets.
