OFFERINGS

At Sonder Therapy Lounge, I bring curiosity and compassion to counseling, grounded in culturally and trauma-responsive care. I prioritize honoring your unique lived experiences, weaving them into our therapeutic journey to foster a supportive environment where self-discovery, healing, and growth can thrive. I facilitate your journey in cultivating a loving relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you. My role is to guide you to connect with your inner wisdom and navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and certainty. Alongside individual and relationship counseling, I also offer Well-Being Coordination services within film and TV productions—supporting cast, crew, and creatives with care practices that promote well-being and sustainable working environments. As part of my commitment to accessibility and community care, I offer affordable counseling options. Currently, most sessions are conducted virtually, with in-person availability on select days.

individual counselling

Work with me one-on-one to embrace the different parts of you, expand your capacity to hold space for the myriads of feelings, emotions, and sensations—even those in conflict. Equip yourself with the skills to feel anchored in your own capability and self-leadership while you navigate the uncertainties of life. Discover clarity in your values and nurture a loving and compassionate relationship with yourself.

  • Our first session together offers a unique opportunity for us to start getting to know each other. Most of the time will be spent collecting information about what your motivation(s) for seeking therapy are, your past counselling experiences (if any), your background, and what you hope to achieve through our work together.

    It's also a time for us to ask each other questions! We can discuss what works and what doesn't, how the counseling process works, and my therapeutic approaches. This conversation will help me understand your specific needs and preferences, enable me to create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals. Additionally, we'll review informed consent and confidentiality agreements to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed about our therapeutic journey together.

    Subsequent sessions will be centered around progressing toward your therapy goals. I see my role as more of a facilitator than an expert because I believe that you are the true expert in your own life. You possess unique insights and experiences that shape your journey and my goal is to create a safe space where you can access these aspects of yourself freely. Together, we'll collaborate on finding solutions and strategies that resonate with you and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life based on your own wisdom and understanding.

Relationship counselling

Together we’ll navigate the ever-evolving dynamics of your relationships—whether romantic, friendship, or familial. We’ll work to uncover underlying patterns that shape how you relate to others and build skills to approach your connections with greater awareness and intentionality. We'll cultivate meaningful dialogues to co-create fulfilling, conscious relationships. We’ll expand your capacity to make choices that honor both your own needs and the needs of those you care about. We’ll also gain the skills to turn conflicts into opportunities for growth, creating new patterns with understanding and creativity. Ultimately, the goal is for you to foster a deeper, more loving connection in the space between you and your loved one(s) by learning the skills to repair, nurture, and elevate your relationships into something truly meaningful, joyful, and resilient.

  • Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good match for your relationship journey. I'll be gathering information about your reason(s) for seeking therapy, your relationship history, philosophy of relationship, and your goals through our work together.

    It's also an opportunity for us to engage in a dialogue. We can discuss what has been effective or challenging, how the relationship counseling process unfolds, and my therapeutic approach. This exchange helps me tailor my approaches to your unique needs and preferences aligned with your relationship goals. Additionally, we'll go over informed consent, confidentiality agreements, and the "No Secrets" policy to ensure you feel informed and safe with our therapeutic journey.

    If we're a good fit, in our second session, we'll meet individually to gather personal narratives that can enrich our work together. This one-on-one time allows us to delve deeper into your family and relationship history, your personal hopes and expectations for both the relationship and therapy, how you care for yourself, and any other details that could be beneficial for our work together.

    In the third session, we'll come together to review the strengths in your relationship, identify areas for growth, and craft our therapy goals.

    In subsequent sessions, our focus will be on actively working towards these goals and addressing any new developments that arise between our meetings.

    I typically recommend beginning with a 50-minute session to lay the groundwork. As we progress, subsequent sessions can extend to 75 minutes for a more in-depth exploration and to further advance your therapy goals.

    I understand that this structure may not suit everyone. How about we arrange a complimentary exploration session to collaboratively create a plan that best fits your needs and preferences?

well-being coordinating

well-being coordination

As a Well-Being Coordinator, I step into the world of storytelling from a different perspective, blending my passion for both the arts and mental health. My role is all about ensuring that the environment supports the to emotional, psychological, physiological, and interpersonal well-being of all involved, from the cast and crew to the creatives at the helm. Together, we’ll explore sustainable ways of working that honour each person while upholding the integrity of the creative process. Develop embodied tools to navigate stress, prevent burnout, and nurture a culture rooted in care, respect, and connection. Co-create a space where people feel deeply seen, supported, and free to offer their fullest creative expression.

Co-create a space where people feel deeply seen, supported, and free to offer their fullest creative expression.

  • My work begins long before the cameras roll. I collaborate with the production during pre-production to understand the unique demands of the project. Whether it's a script involving sensitive subject matter, intense emotional content, or a cast member with specific needs, my role is to ensure that well-being is intentionally woven into the fabric of the production process.

    From there, I review scripts and production schedules through a well-being lens—identifying scenes that may be emotionally activating, flagging areas that need thoughtful attention, and offering adjustments to better support everyone involved. I provide guidance on how to pace and structure emotionally activating content to allow for resourcing and recovery, not just performance.

    I meet with cast and crew individually or in groups to explore what kinds of support would be most meaningful to them. These confidential conversations can include anything from relevant personal history and potential triggers, to self-care strategies, performance preparation, emotional safety boundaries, or concerns about the production process—including anything that might affect their capacity to be present and engaged on set. My role is to listen, respond with care, and co-create a space that honours both the artistry and the humanity of those involved.

    On set, I serve as a grounded presence. I offer in-the-moment support—whether that’s a quiet check-in, a grounding practice before a heavy scene, or simply being available when something unexpected arises. My “kit” includes sensory tools, self-regulation supports, and a trained nervous system ready to attune to what’s needed, without judgment or pressure.

    At the end of the day, I’m available to support cast and crew in unwinding from the emotional, psychological, and energetic demands of filming. Whether it’s debriefing a tough scene, de-roling from an intense character, or simply creating space to process the day’s events, these moments help people land, settle, and reset. This kind of care support both individual and collective well-being. It fosters a more connected, collaborative set culture and helps reduce the risk of burnout.

    Well-being support continues into post-production as needed, offering space to process and integrate the weight of the work. My commitment is to care for the creative spirit while honouring the whole person.

    This structure allow me to advocate for working conditions that support the well-being of both cast and crew. By understanding individual needs and potential challenges ahead of time, I can help mitigate risk, reduce disruptions to the production schedule, and contribute to a more attuned, respectful, and sustainable work environment. When people feel safe and seen, they’re more able to show up fully—whether that means accessing emotional depth for a performance or staying well-resourced through a long day on set.
