Somatic Therapists in Pemberton, BC
I predominantly use somatic - body based/right brain focus and attachment theory- relationships with early caregivers-in my practice to bring into conscious awareness any unhealed wounds from the past so that we can heal these wounds to live a more healthy and fulfilling life in the present.
Do you feel lost, burnt out, or that you're barely surviving and can't catch a break?
I support clients through the messy and complicated periods of life. As humans we face all sorts of challenges - from your relationships dynamics or mood (like anxiety or depression), trauma from the past that keeps getting in your way, or just general "life" (like parenting, finances, health conditions). Therapy is the space to get some support, learn some tools and find some insight on the patterns which will help meaningful shifts in your life from surviving to thriving.

My practice integrates approaches such as DBT, Schema Therapy, and somatic and narrative work, all grounded in a trauma-informed, humanistic framework.

Together, we make sense of what's happening, build practical tools, and work toward meaningful change that actually fits your life.

I offer a somatic, trauma-informed approach that integrates nervous system regulation, parts work, attachment theory, and depth-oriented therapy.
I work with individuals who feel disconnected from themselves due to chronic stress, trauma, or long-standing patterns of self-protection. This can show up as burnout, overwhelm, or numbness, even while functioning well outwardly. Therapy is a space to slow down and tune into your inner experience— integrating the mind, body, and nervous system to support meaning-making, self-discovery, and the uncovering of your inner wisdom. This deeper connection and understanding of self also helps to cultivate healthier, more meaningful relationships with others.

Trauma impacts how we see the world, navigate through our experiences, and connect with others. While you are not the product of a single experience or relationship, sometimes one experience can feel so overwhelming that it overtakes over all others. Together, you can start to move towards a life where this problem or memory is no longer an obstacle.

We're stronger—and life is richer—in connection to ourselves and others.

I'm so glad you're here. It would be my honour to work with you to see how we can bring you in alignment with the goals and dreams you have for your life!

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.
