This is why I’m passionate about holistic therapy and mental health approaches that go beyond surface-level solutions by addressing issues at their roots (EMDR, parts-work, & somatic therapies ).
I support clients through a range of issues, challenges, heartaches, and losses, from smaller concerns to the really big stuff. ​ I help you uncover and resolve the root cause of mental health symptoms and personal challenges, including managing difficult emotions, self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, boundary issues and a harsh inner critic.

I weave together somatic psychotherapy, movement, and nervous system regulation to support deep transformation.
You might be navigating a life transition, relationship challenge, deep grief, or feeling lost in patterns of anxiety, burnout, dissociation or overwhelm. Perhaps your body is holding what words cannot express—chronic pain, tension, or a sense of disconnect. You long for relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. My work is for those who seek more than just talk therapy—who want to feel change in their body, not just understand it in their mind. Together, we create space for healing, where old patterns can unravel, and a sense of possibility, agency, and ease can emerge.

When we’ve experienced trauma, or ongoing stressors, our nervous system adapts to protect us—but those survival patterns can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, & overwhelmed. You might notice repeating cycles in relationships, struggles with trust or self-worth, or difficulty regulating emotions. Maybe you’re navigating addiction / alcoholism, codependency, or the impact of a loved one’s substance use. Whatever your struggle, change & healing are possible. Senvea's counsellors create a safe space to explore what’s keeping you stuck, restore a sense of inner security, & reconnect with a life of meaning and fulfilment.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner L2, Somatic Attachment Focused Expressive Therapies, Compassion Focused Therapy, Coherence Therapy (in training), Integrated Experiential therapy focus.
Having harsh inner critics, addictions, being afraid of rejection, needing to be perfect, feeling numb or anxious are all symptoms of trauma, not signs of weakness or personality flaws. Not disorders, but our minds' best effort to keep our heads above water. Trauma is often caused not by a single event, but by a mix of overwhelm and powerlessness over time. Removal of love, constant criticism, excessive expectations or parents who struggled with their issues when we were young led to adaptations necessary for our survival. If any of these resonate, you are not alone. I talk to people like you. And like them, you, too, can heal.

Somatic Counsellors

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.
