Are you someone who has tried talk therapy but is still feeling "stuck"? Are you looking for an experience of therapy that includes your body, spirit, mind, and helps you embody your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a nervous system informed, trauma-oriented approach that goes beyond talking and offers experiential practices that can gently reshape the survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. Somatic Therapy helps us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can experience our aliveness. This work is gentle, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassion-focused, nature-based, and decolonial approaches.

You've made a decision to seek support, which in itself can be a stressful process in finding the right person to help with what's happening right now. Already, you've taken that first step towards a path ahead for changing something that maybe doesn't feel quite right. If you're experiencing challenges in managing anxiety, depression, navigating a traumatic experience, or looking for help with your specific grief experience from the death of someone, your pet, a job, a relationship, or expectations, let's take the time and make space to slow things down, and begin a compassionate conversation for capturing your vibrant life again.

I help adults who want to be confident and enjoy life but are feeling stuck and are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression or work and career challenges.

My areas of care include trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, shame, anger, grief, communication and vocational direction. My clinical focus uses an attachment-based, trauma informed approach in counselling. I am trained in the integration of different models of counselling. I work with individuals, couples and families.

When we are feeling stuck in a negative cycle, we can start to feel like we are running in a hamster wheel. It can become mentally and emotionally exhausting. As a result, we can start to lose our sense of hope. My goal is to offer support in a way that helps you connect your inner dots and work towards meaningful change. I am currently accepting new clients. If you would like to work together on restoring your sense of hope and get out of unhelpful patterns, then please reach out.

I believe that effective therapy takes place in an atmosphere of safety, respect, and caring. When a person comes to therapy, a healing process is already underway. As this process is recognized and strengthened, the client is free to move toward wholeness. I use empathic listening and questions to help clarify the presenting problem and set it in the context of the person's life journey with its healthy call for spiritual and psychological growth. Writing, guided visualization, role playing and art may also be used to bring forth inner wisdom and to explore alternative ways to meet challenges.

I tailor my therapeutic techniques to each client and provide problem solving, active listening and goal oriented therapy.

Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "something isn't right" or "I can't go on like this"? If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change. Maybe you are tired of hiding your drinking as a way to cope with your mood. Maybe you have noticed that while getting high works in the moment to help manage your nerves, you are actually more anxious now than you have ever been. Change is scary, but may be necessary for you to reach your full potential.

Most people who come to me are struggling with challenges that fall into one of four main categories: 1) anxiety, and other struggles with emotional regulation, 2) relationship difficulties, with family, friends, stress, work, nature, society, spirituality, and oneself, 3) direction, related to life purpose or career, and 4) depression, and grief-related challenges. I work with adult individuals (16 and up) and couples seeking guidance, support, and tools to help navigate life struggles with more self-awareness and agency. I also offer individual and group clinical supervision to therapists.

Life is filled with contradictions: we have intimate relationships and yet we find ourselves holding back in different ways; we notice intense inner yearnings for change but struggle to move beyond the same patterns and repetitions. You may be coming to therapy with one particular issue in mind that you want to explore, or perhaps you're bringing a general sense of unease and stuck-ness that you find yourself in. Often times what initially brings us to work with someone can lead to many unexpected areas of exploration.
