I work with adults and couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. Individually, clients may be navigating life transitions, grief, or past trauma and want greater clarity, self-acceptance, and balance. Couples often come in feeling distant, repeating the same arguments, or struggling to rebuild trust.
What they share is a desire for genuine change, not just temporary relief. They long for deeper connection—with themselves, their partner, and the life they want to create.

On maternity leave till July 27th 2026. No longer seeing in-person clients. "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore.

I pursued a career in counselling because I enjoy listening to people, seeking to understand their experiences, and helping them with their challenges. I specialize in counselling individuals who have experienced trauma, offering compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each person’s unique journey. I have experience helping clients process and heal from a range of traumatic experiences, including abuse, motor vehicle accidents, loss, and crisis situations. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples who are looking to repair or strengthen their closeness and connection.

My work addresses experiences of trauma, post-traumatic stress, childhood adversity, or grief/loss through somatic, mindfulness and movement therapy practices.
Body-centered therapy is based on the belief that our bodies continue to hold certain difficult experiences and emotions long after the incident is over because we have not had the opportunity to fully feel, acknowledge or complete them in a safe way. Body-centered therapy can allow for a safe and contained space to understand what we are still holding.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment theory and somatic work, including Somatic Experiencing.
Many of my clients grew up with emotionally unavailable, critical, or unpredictable caregivers. They learned to be strong, capable, and self-reliant, but now struggle with self-trust, boundaries, people-pleasing, or feeling at home with others. You may be the “black sheep” of your family, the one who noticed unhealthy dynamics or chose a different path. You want to feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself.

My approach integrates EMDR, parts work, and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and relational healing.
Hi, I’m Celina Jensen, a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and EMDR therapist.

As an RCC, Art Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I blend talk therapy with somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative art-based exploration.
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of “shoulds” and self-comparison? Exhausted by the pressure to do it all, yet unsure how to slow down? You’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are navigating burnout, self-doubt, body image concerns, or life transitions that have pulled them away from who they are. You might feel overwhelmed by “shoulds,” self-comparison, or the weight of expectations. What you really want is to feel more grounded, connected, and confident—like yourself again. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reflect, and begin that return.

I also have training in EMDR, CBT, Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness.
Difficult life experiences that happened years ago may still be negatively impacting your thoughts, actions, relationships, and feelings today. You may feel stuck in the past or in your fears around the future. You may be living in your head; limiting your capacity to connect with yourself and others. You may feel skeptical, but change is possible. I have worked with people impacted by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, somatization and OCD for several years. I have witnessed them take charge of their thoughts and behaviours while connecting to their feelings, to here and now, to their bodies, to their values and loved ones.

I strive to create a warm, open, and trusting relationship with my clients, holding a safe space for them to journey through challenging experiences and emotions. I take a person-centred approach, remaining curious and sincere in my efforts to understand another's experience. I seek to find areas where individuals may feel a lack of authentic freedom, encouraging them as they navigate various life issues and work towards clarity and congruence. I am particularly adept at working with immigrants, as I am keenly aware of the barriers and challenges that come with adjusting to a new culture and environment.

When you're struggling... it can be hard to know where to start. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps you've been carrying what has happened to you alone. Friends and family - they just don't get it. You've been doing what you can to get by, but know you're not thriving in the way you'd like to be. Perhaps you've been though a painful or traumatic experience and know you're ready to start processing what has happened to you. Or maybe, you're in a challenging life transition. You don't have to be alone with hard things. Counselling can help.

This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.
Sessions move between art, body awareness, and real conversation. If a pop culture reference helps something land, great. If a question needs to be asked plainly, I'll ask it — with care. I work well with people who appreciate directness alongside compassion, and who are ready to say the things they've been editing in their head.

My approach is somatic and relational.
Hi, I’m Adriann. I work with people who often seem 'fine' on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. Sometimes it feels like everything is too much—but at the same time, you don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re constantly in overdrive, or maybe you’ve started to shut down just to cope. I support people who are navigating complex trauma, burnout, and emotional numbness—especially when things look okay from the outside but don’t feel okay at all. Together, we slow things down and start to reconnect with your body, your inner cues, and what you need to feel good, happy and grounded again.

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.
