Do you ever feel like your mind is telling you one story while your body is signalling another? Maybe your reactions feel out of your control, you're unsure where certain feelings are coming from, or you're struggling to understand and communicate your needs. As a somatic therapist, the heart of my work honours the body-mind connection and focuses on bridging the gap between your thoughts, feelings, and body. My support is relational, collaborative, emotionally-attuned and rooted in the belief that all parts of you deserve care. Tuning into your needs day-to-day, session-to-session, and shaping this journey together.

Sessions are spent balancing the nervous system, gathering tools for self-expression, and creating space for self-compassion. Working with all of your “little parts" to rebuild your relationship to self. I offer support through a trauma-informed, holistic, and attachment-focused lens, integrating somatic therapy, parts work, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.

Together, we’ll develop a sustainable foundation of self-trust as we make sense of the experiences and relationships that shape your world, all while celebrating small but powerful moments of growth. Whether you feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I invite you to come just as you are. You don’t have to do this alone.

I work with folks navigating a wide range of challenges, with a focus on helping clients redefine their relationship with themselves. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relationship or communication challenges, self-doubt, or disconnection from their emotions and body. Together, we build resilience, clarify needs, and move toward authentic connection.
