Somatic Therapists in Edmonton, AB
My therapeutic style is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy, integrating elements of compassion-focused therapy, polyvagal theory, and somatic experiencing, as needed.
I may be a good fit for you if you struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, unresolved anger, self-criticism, self-destructive behaviours, or have a history of childhood maltreatment. I believe that shame and self-criticism are at the root of many mental health concerns and self-destructive habits. Often these habits are our best attempts at soothing or numbing the underlying pain. I don’t focus on diagnosis, but rather I invite you to reconnect with emotions that may have been dismissed, ignored, or too painful to allow yourself to feel.

Somatic attachment therapy is a gentle way to work through issues and feel safe and supported at the same time.

Sometimes, we find ourselves struggling with a more pressing issue, such as depression, anxiety, dealing with trauma, life transitions, marital problems, or you may find yourself struggling with addiction. Regardless of whether you are looking to learn how to budget or for a therapist who can help you manage symptoms of past or present trauma; I am here to help.

I use EMDR, somatic, and narrative approaches to help you process trauma and grief, navigate life’s challenges, regain a sense of meaning, and show up as your better self in your relationship with loved ones.
I will listen and learn about your hardships, values, and goals, providing you with a safe space to be completely yourself and to share openly. You may or may not have a specific goal in mind- both are okay. My clients often find that after the first session, they have a better idea of what they are looking for, and we can go from there.

Compassionate support will be tailored to your unique needs with a holistic integration of modalities such as EMDR, embodiment/ somatic informed, trauma healing and mindfulness.
My practice is focused on supporting high achievers, people-pleasers, helping professionals, empaths and spiritually minded individuals. Clients who seek my care often describe a tendency to prioritize others needs over their own, juggling so many responsibilities they are left feeling burned out and exhausted.
Perhaps you have been struggling with anxiety, stress, or difficulties navigating relationships and boundaries.
Maybe you have experienced loss that has left you feeling consumed by waves of grief; or past traumas seem to be holding you back from your highest potential.

I primarily use CBT, ACT, IFS and a touch of somatic work.
For many of us, at some point we look up and realize life has not gone as planned. Whether it's anxiety from relationships, pressure from work, or a disconnect between your values and decisions, we all can feel lost at times. I'm here support you! My role as your therapist is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that feels eluding. Together we can re-gain a sense of control as no matter what's led you here, I believe in the human capacity to adapt and grow with the right support.

I draw from approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and somatic practice to support clients in understanding their emotions, navigating challenges, and creating meaningful change.
Therapy can be a space where you finally feel able to exhale. I support adults and teens (16+) navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, with a particular focus on perinatal and postpartum experiences, relationship challenges and breakups, and trauma-related emotional patterns. Many people reach out when they feel overwhelmed, stuck in painful cycles, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we create a supportive space to explore your experiences, better understand the patterns shaping your relationships and emotions, and move toward greater clarity, healing, and resilience.

I bring a decade of experience as an EMDR therapist, advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, and a desire to deeply understand.
I love collaborating with individuals and couples seeking deepened emotional intimacy, connection and fulfillment within their relationships. We nurture secure bonds, cultivate an awareness of sturdy life-giving boundaries, effectively ease anxiety, and integrate key dimensions of identity. Many of my clients are noticing and attend to valid core needs after earlier experiences of emotional neglect or betrayal. I also support navigating transitions, moving through grief, living with disability/ chronic health concerns, expanding connection to movement/ play/ rest, engaging creativity, pursuing entrepreneurial/ career growth & more.

I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood—not fixed. I’m someone who pays attention to the small things: the patterns, the pauses, the parts of your story that don’t always get space.
In our work, you won’t be reduced to a diagnosis. You’re a whole person, and your experiences make sense. I created The Art of Becoming to offer a space that feels more human, honest, and attuned—where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out.
Therapy here is a place to slow down, make sense of your inner world, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels real.

I practice counselling from a strength-based, client-centre perspective. I honor clients' experiences and together we form collaborative relationships to identify healthy coping, and solution-oriented pathways towards clients' goals. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify maladaptive, intrusive thoughts to form adaptive self-concepts. Furthermore, I thoughtfully incorporate Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work with traumatic life events and emotionally freedom techniques to ground and process strong emotions. I am trained in Play Therapy to work with children and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to work with couples. I am also Pride certified to work with sexual and gender minority individuals.

My approach is compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and grounded in somatic and experiential work, but it’s also practical and real.
Sometimes life feels heavy, like you’re carrying more than your share or stuck in the same patterns no matter how hard you try. You might look fine on the outside but feel anything but okay inside. I work with teens and adults who want to understand themselves, heal old wounds, and feel more grounded in daily life.
My focus includes trauma, addictions, disordered eating, and dissociation. I also support first responders, veterans, and helpers who give so much to others and are ready to make space for their own healing.

We serve adults, children, youth, couples, and families seeking culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Many come to us feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity stress, workplace challenges, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the impact of systemic harm. We also support high-trauma clients, Veterans, and those involved in family or legal processes. Our team helps clients move forward through relational, evidence-based care that honours culture, lived experience, safety, and practical healing.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I'm also trained in other treatment types, including EMDR, Art Therapy, and Somatic Therapy (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy).
Adults with ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD: Are you processing a late diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD? If so, you might be experiencing a mix of grief, confusion, relief, and pride. You might also feel overwhelmed about what it all means and how to incorporate this new knowledge into your life or identity.
Often, neurodivergent adults experience repeated burnouts, ongoing social challenges, and carry a never-ending to-do list and a backpack full of negative views of themselves. If you recognize yourself here, please feel free to reach out and see if we are a fit. I have a lot of experience in working through these kinds of things.

I use a combination of talk therapy and somatic approaches in session.
Are you feeling stressed, lost, overwhelmed, alone? Perhaps you are struggling because something has happened or because you're going through major life changes. Maybe you're feeling like you don't know who you are anymore? Everything is going well, you've gotten what you've wanted in life, but you feel unhappy and don't know why. Perhaps your spiritual beliefs are changing or you don't know what brings you meaning. You don't have to figure it out alone. It's helpful to have someone to talk to in order to get to the root of the issue and support you in becoming the person you want to be and in living a fulfilling life.
