Somatic Experiencing guides my work in processing past traumatic events.
Hello! I am a Registered Psychologist who works collaboratively with clients of all genders and orientations to explore the ways you deal with your life's challenges. My goal is to help you shift patterns so that you're able to show up as the way you want to in all areas of your world. This looks different for everyone, and therapy is tailored to each person's goals and needs. Folks often come to me because they are feeling stuck (whether in grief, trauma, societal expectations, or sexual difficulties) and are looking for a bridge to the life they want to live.

Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

My approach is integrative and holistic, drawing from Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Based Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care.
Imagine a life where you're not just getting by but truly thriving. My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to navigate the complexities of life but is ready to take meaningful steps toward change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or struggling with relationships, you're seeking not just relief, but a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. You want to break free from patterns that no longer serve you, develop healthier ways of coping, and create a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Although multidisciplinary, my daily practice includes Client-Centered, Dialectical-Behavioural, Cognitive-Behavioural, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Narrative, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) from a trauma-informed and Bowenian Family Systems model.
I have 14 years of progressive experience delivering trauma-specific care in community/clinical mental health, hospital (University of Alberta ICU/Burn Unit), and private practice. I have specialized training in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and trauma. This can range from treating single traumatic events to the more complex histories of adverse childhood experiences, other relational traumas and attachment issues, to psychosis and dissociative disorders. I have experience with people of all sexual orientations and many ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

My approach promotes well-being on multiple levels and includes somatic therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, as well as more traditional CBT and solution-focused talk therapies.
Sometimes, the more you try to hold it together on the outside, the more you fall apart on the inside. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, devastated, confused and overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, life transitions, relationships, grief or trauma, you're probably striving to get back on your feet. It happens to all of us and even the strongest can benefit from taking time to explore (often hidden or forgotten) inner resources. It's not a sign of weakness to seek support, but of wisdom: when what used to work no longer does, it's time to explore alternative options.

I am trained in somatic and Trauma-focused CBT to help children, adults and families process trauma.
I offer a welcoming, gentle, non-judgmental, and affirming space for clients to feel comfortable sharing in. I approach counselling through an intersectional lens to understand how people are impacted by societal structures throughout their lives. My extensive experience includes working with youth, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, survivors of violence and those with ADHD, autism, chronic pain, and disabilities/chronic illness. I work collaboratively with clients to support them while they are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with adults, youth, children, couples and families.

My work is a journey of soul-centered integration and collaboration, weaving together IFS, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and transpersonal therapy, to name a few.
Having said that, it also doesn’t mean the process is gruelling, dare I say, it can even be playful! I am committed to practicing what I preach, and bring the same honesty, integrity, and self-awareness to our work that I encourage in you.

I work with an eclectic mix of modalities including ACT, EFT, IFS, focusing, nature-based therapy, somatic, transpersonal and mindfulness-based approaches.
Everyone has the innate capacity to heal and transform. I see my task as offering a safe, skilled and authentic relational space in which that might occur. I offer a highly individualized and integrative approach to help you bring more balance, resilience, meaning and flourishing into your life - to call forth and nurture your true potential. I have over 15 years of experience in individual, couple and group counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

I'm a Certified Hakomi Therapist (a mindfulness-based somatic therapy) with training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychedelic-assisted Therapy.
Are you curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy? Perhaps you have tried other modalities with limited benefits. A paradigm shift in mental health is emerging, with psychedelic medicines positioned as a novel cutting-edge adjunct to psychotherapeutic treatment. Though this therapy is not for everyone, a resurgent wave of scientific research has indicated that psychedelics can be effective in treating a variety of clinical conditions. By accessing expanded states of consciousness, psychedelic medicines can allow us to tap into the internal healing wisdom within and transgress previously embedded limitations.

Through somatic work like Hakomi and examining self-criticism, we get you back to your true self.
Are you someone who knows how you want to eat and how you want to eat but get stuck somewhere between what you want to put into your mouth and what you actually put into your mouth? Do you see your relationship to food as an emotional expression of what is going on inside of you? I support my clients in getting in touch with their physical hunger cues and then the emotional, spiritual hungers that arise as a result. I have been there. I've done retreats on my eating and my thesis on how we use our body to express internal struggles. There is a you waiting to get out to stand tall and shine. Food & eating can actually be the way out.

Using approaches like CBT, EMDR, and somatic therapy, I empower you to rebuild emotional resilience, improve self-esteem, and cultivate healthier relationships.
Are you struggling with unresolved trauma or feeling disconnected from yourself and others? It’s not uncommon to feel stuck, especially when past experiences continue to impact your present. Together, we can explore the root causes of your pain, develop practical tools to cope, and guide you toward healing and healthier connections.

I work primarily with a somatic-based, trauma-informed and attachment-centred process: Self-Regulation Therapy (SRT), EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
I provide a safe place to process, heal and change, with an open, warm and practical approach to counselling. Sometimes clients jokingly say, 'I have issues'. Well, we all have 'issues'. When these issues become overwhelming, I help you gain the skills necessary to move forward. I think expressing both "negative" and "positive" emotions are important to well-being. I consider therapy a success when you leave with increased clarity about the issues that you are dealing with, feel hopeful about addressing the challenges holding you back, and feel confident practicing new skills that you have added to your personal skill set.

I want to help you find your "joie de vivre" (joy in living) and empower you to be your best self! I am a Registered Psychologist certified in Hakomi mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy and EMDR.
The Hakomi method uses mindfulness to uncover clients' negative beliefs about the self, their relationships, or the world through body sensations, emotions, memories and imagery. When these beliefs are brought into awareness and transformed within the safety of a warm, caring therapeutic relationship, clients are empowered for personal growth/change.

My holistic approach incorporates attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, the Gottman Method, somatic and parts work, and mindfulness.
Creating a space of safety and openness is at the centre of my approach to counselling. Working from a strength-based perspective, we will engage in a collaborative process where you are the expert of your life. My intention is to help you access the tools and wisdom within and around to inspire hope and change. My clients are often adolescents and adults who are looking for help with trauma, anxiety, relationships, gender, sexuality and nonmonogamy.

Accepting new clients! Finding a neurodiversity-affirming therapist can be tough. A neuronormative approach may not resonate with your ADHD/Autistic experiences, and maybe you've been looking for someone who 'gets it'. As an auDHDer (ADHD + autistic) myself, I bring both a personal experience lens and therapeutic training to the table. Whether you're on an unmasking journey, looking to heal some big hurts, or just figuring your life out, I'm here to help you develop ways to work WITH your brain, process trauma, decide which direction to take, or improve interpersonal relationships. Self and late-diagnosis welcome!
