I’m a trauma-informed counsellor and mediator. I bring both professional expertise and embodied insight to my practice, offering holistic, inclusive, and culturally responsive support in-person and online. My approach blends person-centred, somatic, and creative therapies to support people navigating trauma, grief, addiction, identity, and life transitions. Respecting each client’s unique story, values, and inner wisdom as the foundation for healing and growth I offer safe, affirming care rooted in cultural safety, presence, creativity, and purpose.
My approach integrates person-centred, strengths-based, and psychodynamic frameworks with Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic experiencing, embodiment practices, creative and transpersonal therapies to support clients in reconnecting with themselves, fostering resilience, self-awareness, and healing through movement and presence.
If you’re seeking a space that welcomes all of who you are, I offer inclusive, embodied, and compassionate support. Whether you're navigating trauma, identity, or life transitions, you're not alone. Together, we can explore your story and reconnect with your inner wisdom. I invite you to reach out when you're ready.
