My approach blends neuro-affirming, trauma - sensitive, compassionate present moment awareness, somatic parts work & depth psychology.
Beyond the words, beyond our personal/transpersonal stories we carry, our individual, collective and ancestral experiences encoded in our patterning. This is why experiential therapies are so effective, especially when healing from complex & early trauma. To remember your wholeness is to heal. There is a deep wisdom to tap into to support that re-membering.

Drawing on approaches such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Narrative, Somatic and Attachment-based work, I help you process difficult experiences, better understand yourself, regulate emotions and develop practical skills that support long-term healing and resilience.
Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, ADHD, Substance Use and Addiction, Grief & Loss, Relationship Challenges or Major Life Transitions can change the way you see yourself and the world around you. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or trapped in patterns you can't seem to break. With over 16 years of experience in mental health and addictions, I help adults understand the roots of these struggles, heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.
