Accessing counselling can feel overwhelming and clinical. I offer an authentic, down to earth approach to my sessions where my clients can feel safe to explore life’s challenges. I tailor my sessions to my client’s unique needs and offer practical tools and psychoeducation to empower and facilitate growth. In addition to my studies in psychological science and counselling, my expertise stems largely from my life and work experiences working with different communities including survivors of domestic abuse, law enforcement and military members, community mental illness, women's wellbeing, grief, AOD and general anxiety/depression.

When work is what hurt you, simply trying harder isn't the answer. Whether you're experiencing burnout, workplace trauma, moral injury, workplace bullying, or the cumulative impact of chronic workplace stress, recovery begins with understanding what happened—not blaming yourself. I have a particular passion for supporting helping professionals, educators, healthcare workers, and first responders whose work has taken a significant psychological toll. I also support adults exploring ADHD and Autism, often after years of feeling misunderstood, masking, or wondering why life has always seemed harder than it should. I work with people e

I integrate different modalities such as Narrative and Somatic therapies, hypnosis, CBT, and ACT in order to offer a tailor-made experience to my clients.
Life transitions can unsettle your sense of self at any age. Women of all ages experience changes and transitions that leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly lost. You may be facing immigration, menopause, health concerns, career changes, grief, or an identity that no longer fits. Even positive change can feel disorienting. Even long-awaited milestones can carry unexpected grief. Standing at the threshold of adulthood, about to get married, or navigating motherhood can still be challenging. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.

Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.

Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.

What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
