You will often find that the hardest part of change is starting, but you don’t have to start alone. You could be navigating change, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Sessions together offer support managing stress, relationships, or personal growth, and you receive compassionate, practical guidance to help you build clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. You could be ready to practice coping strategies, explore new perspectives, and take actionable steps toward meaningful, lasting change. You are also welcome to need some time to be nurtured before moving forward feels right.

Somatic Counselling, Psychedelic Integration & Intuitive Healing.
I work with people who have done significant inner work and sense there is still something essential waiting to be accessed. For over 20 years, I have supported healing and growth through somatic therapy, expressive and arts-based approaches, psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration, and intuitive healing. While the mind seeks understanding, the body knows the way to real change. Through the body’s somatic felt sense, clarity, resonance, and inner truth emerge.

I work with trauma and abuse survivors who are deeply self-aware yet still feel trapped by unresolved trauma symptoms. You may carry a heavy sense of shame, deep fear of failure, low self-esteem and/or the belief that you’re a burden. Maybe you've done talk therapy before, but it only scratched the surface. You crave something deeper: space to fully process, integrate, and reclaim yourself.
This is a soft and nonjudgmental place to land. My work focuses on healing shame, regulating the nervous system, rebuilding self-trust, and reconnecting you with your authentic self.

Something brought you here, and it probably wasn't easy to take this step. Maybe anxiety has been your unwelcome companion for too long, or your past keeps interrupting your present in ways that leave you feeling helpless. Perhaps you find yourself repeating relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or misunderstood. These experiences have taught you to be hypervigilant, to always be "on," but your nervous system is tired. You're ready to learn what it feels like to genuinely relax, to trust, to show up as yourself without fear. You deserve relationships and a life that nourish rather than drain you.

Life can throw challenges our way that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Coming to a realization that we could use help, and seeking a therapist are big steps. The therapeutic relationship offers a unique space to look at and discuss deeply personal content in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It can feel like a big risk to open up about our struggles. I encourage anyone seeking therapy to search for a therapist that they feel comfortable with. I believe it is my job to foster trust and safety so that we can work through difficult feelings. From my perspective, there is no definitive ranking of problems.
