Change can be daunting so you stay 'stuck' in situations that no longer serve you. Maybe life feels 'comfortable' but you feel unfulfilled. You wear a mask to hide the anxiety or unhappiness you feel. The emotional pain is blocking you from connecting with those closest to you. It may seem there is no hope, so you continue living an unsatisfied life. Maybe you have learned to get through difficult times alone, but are ready to further explore yourself and the relationships in your life. You want change, and to feel whole again. You want to connect with yourself, and feel confident in who you are.

I'm someone who is ready to meet you where you are. As a counsellor, I believe people are wired for connection and healing. I am often complimented on my disarming and genuine presence, which I bring to therapy. If you're looking for counselling that is down-to-earth and deep, I'd love to chat!
Outside of regular talk therapy, I also offer EMDR and Neurofeedback. I like getting creative and have been known to break out the art supplies, creative writing, and my trusty white board to aid in our work together. I don't believe in a "one-size fits all" approach, but instead will build sessions which are tailored to your needs.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up fully as yourself — messy thoughts and feelings, uncertainty, contradictions, and all. My role is to create a safe space where you feel deeply seen, while also helping you gently challenge the patterns, beliefs, and narratives that may be keeping you stuck. I take a collaborative and directive approach to therapy. I actively work alongside my clients to help them gain insight, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change.

Are you stressed at work and can’t sleep at night? Feeling worried, stuck and overwhelmed? I understand that these experiences can lead to feelings of loss – loss of control, loss of freedom, and loss of passion for your life. You might have been trying different strategies on your own, trying to power through the problem, relying on will power alone. Truth is - it’s not that you need to “work harder”. What you need is someone with the right knowledge and skills to guide you through the process and point you in the right direction. You are in the right place and you have options.

Everyone experiences situations in their lives when things do not work out as planned or desired. You may be having a difficult time in moving forward without the time, tools and support to do so in a positive way. Our emotional health is equally, if not more, important than our physical and mental health. When we are faced with trauma, our emotional health takes a toll and affects our ability to manage and demonstrate the emotions that arise from what we have experienced. When individuals and family members address and work on issues, which have been buried for years, they are able to achieve a sense of peace, balance and comfort.

We were not created to navigate life alone, but often times we don't have access to those healthy relationships in our everyday lives to facilitate the growth and healing we were created for. There is no better antidote for life's trials than a personal connection with someone who cares for, and supports you along the way. This is where counselling comes in! If it feels a little scary starting counselling, you're not alone. It takes courage to be vulnerable with another human and can feel like a big risk. Considering counselling is a sign of your inner strength!

As a man, therapy might not be your preferred use of time, yet a growing part of you is curious about what could be. Throughout your life, you’ve felt minimized and closed off from your potential. Maybe you’ve grown curious about that. You know you have lots to offer, but you are uncertain of what that could look like. You want to gain confidence and independence to realize your dreams or control your addictions, but you haven’t found someone who cares or understands enough to provide you with the support you need. You are noticing a new excitement and motivation to connect with yourself and others in a healthier way.

You may be carrying the weight of trauma and the stories that come with it—stories shaped by culture, identity, family, or painful experiences that have left you feeling unseen or overwhelmed.

I offer calm, relational, somatic therapy to help you slow down, untangle what feels heavy, and reconnect with yourself.
You may have spent years caring for everyone else and feel worn down in a way rest doesn’t fix. You might feel overwhelmed, overthinking, and trying to hold too much. Maybe you live with chronic pain, illness, or neurodivergence, and you’re tired of feeling scattered or as though life is just “too much.” You want a quiet, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve had to set aside. Mostly, you want relief, clarity, and a way forward that feels gentler and more true to you.

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.
