Somatic Therapists in Edmonton, AB
Many things in our lives are on a continuum, including the intensity of the problem, resilience, resourcefulness, and healing. Sometimes we need more guidance and help than other times, and sometimes we feel that we can manage on our own. The striving to heal or cope at our best may be subtle or more apparent in our lives, which helps to realize that change is needed, contemplate it, and act. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, eclectic, and trauma-informed.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 15 years of extensive professional training in working with a diverse range of individual, couple, and family issues from a holistic and client focused perspective.

I believe in building a caring, genuine, and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore your concerns and together we can work towards helping you live a more fulfilling life.

My advanced training in Trauma and neuroscience/ Somatic Theory, EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing), Emotional-Focused Therapy (and internal Family Systems) therapy, along with psychoanalytic, humanistic, and CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) creates a unique opportunity for you to come to know 'your-self' differently and ultimately influence and improve your relationships and decisions.
It isn’t necessary to stay stuck (or alone) in painful situations or challenging circumstances. Therapy provides an opportunity to uncover and discover new understandings, strengths, and resiliencies in yourself (and in relationships with others). It is also a safe space to create action plans for life and relationship concerns (couples, parenting, separation) or work/career issues. Therapy supports the development of skills to manage anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD, and more. No problem is too big for therapy, and reaching out is the first step.
Clinical supervision is also available for new therapists/counsellors in the field.

Do you ask yourself “what’s the point”, feel exhausted, stuck, alone, overwhelmed, stressed, isolated or withdrawn? Do you think to yourself, I’m not in control, not good enough, or I'm a failure? Do you lack focus & concentration or have a loss of interest or pleasure in life? Do memories of your childhood, a recent loss, or an accident interfering in your activities of daily living? If you connected to any of the above and are looking for something different, better, or more, we can work together to create a treatment plan offering you hope, to help guide you, and support you in having a more functioning, healthier & happier life.

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.

My work includes Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, ART, TRE, Touch therapy, and Ancestral parts/shadow work.
You're thoughtful, capable, and tired of carrying more than your share. You may feel stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but can't shift in your body or relationships. Stress, burnout, grief, or relational strain may be showing up as anxiety, disconnection, or feeling "on edge". You want relief, clarity, and a sense of safety inside yourself, and you want care that meet you where you are.

Somatic experiencing, mindfulness, neuroscience, and spirituality are infused within my approach.
You may have already listened to the podcasts, read the books, and tried tackling your healing journey alone, but you haven’t yet experienced the kind of relief and shift you have been seeking in your life. You might still be chronically anxious, stuck in the same old patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting, and feeling like your life is missing a sense of fulfillment, wholeness, and joy. Talking about your problems or trying the occasional lifestyle change/coping strategy might not be enough at this point for you. You are not alone! This is where most people get stuck, and this is where I can help.

I also, draw from DBT, CBT, ego state and parts work therapies, somatic therapy and Mindfulness.
Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.

My work is grounded in embodied, somatic therapy.
I draw from Somatic Experiencing, Self Regulation Therapy, ACT, attachment-based work, and archetypal narratives. I weave these together based on your needs, pace, and what is emerging from you. Embodied transformative therapy honours both your psychology and your physiology — your story and your body. Are you ready to meet yourself in a deeper way?

I offer individual therapy to adults who are struggling with, or wanting to process mood states such as anxious, depressed, or conflicting moods. I specialize in a trauma-informed approach to working with mood states. Life experiences, identity, and social positions play an important part in inflicting and maintaining psychological injuries. I help individuals explore these intersections and redirect experiences towards personal growth. I additionally work with traumas pertaining to marginalization, life transitions, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC issues.

Whether we believe it or not, our lived experiences have created a core belief about ourselves and influences a core language we use to describe ourselves, which prevents us from being our authentic self or the desire to change. Here's a truth, you have permission. You have the permission to change, to grow, to develop, to advocate for what you need, create new habits and, to unlearn and learn again. The beauty in the journey is you don’t have to do it alone and I’m here to journey with you.
