THERAPY
I genuinely believe you are the expert in your life, and having a safe place to talk or feel this out is helpful. I offer a wholistic approach to therapy, combining my lived and formal experiences to walk with each person. My passion is walking with Helpers. I like to say I “walk with people on their journey” instead of “work with people”.
I use modalities in 1:1 therapy such as strength-based, person-centered, collaborative, and narrative approaches. In addition, I am skilled in EDMR, Ego States work, and integrating Internal Family System (IFS) techniques.
To begin our journey together, I love to have a free 15-minute chat with you first to assess if we are a good fit.
WORKSHOP FACILItATION
Working as a trainer/facilitator with the Crisis Trauma Resource Institute (CTRI), I facilitate, support development, and train diverse groups through several workshops and certification programs.
Some of the workshops and certification programs in the areas of suicide intervention, prevention and postvention, trauma-informed, vicarious trauma, trauma counselling skills, wellness and self-care, mental health awareness (including anxiety and depression), FASD, de-escalating potentially violent situations (DPVS), grief, challenging behaviours and youth, regulating strategies, crisis response planning, critical incident debriefing, mindfulness, and stress management.
Wholistic Wellness and Balance for the Helper, a workshop created by RKW Wellness is coming soon!
SPeaker
With over 25 years of professional experience, I have been invited to speak at various industry conferences as a keynote speaker and panel participant. I am always eager to collaborate with others and share my insights and experiences. Use the inquire button below to connect if you believe I would be a suitable fit for your upcoming event.
Collaborative Community Work
Having the pleasure and honor of working with various communities in Canada, I have supported grief and loss healing work related to suicide and violence. I also work with Helpers who support community members through the healing process. I believe in sitting with people as equals, not as an expert.
Please reach out if you would like to connect more on how I can be of help to your community.
