As a clinical counsellor and yoga instructor with training in somatic attachment therapy, integrated somatic trauma therapies, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, and influenced by Internal Family Systems, my goal is to provide a supportive space for you to journey through the mind-body connection to understand and heal the deeper underlying causes of present suffering. I take a non-pathological, bottom-up approach to therapeutic healing to address the root causes of issues. I am able to work with anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, self-esteem, identity, relationship conflict, trauma, and a wide variety of other issues.
Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you - Gabor Mate. Our bodies hold our experiences for us until they can no longer hold them, and through somatically journeying to these parts of ourselves we can support healing by releasing deeply held painful emotions and beliefs, and return to our true Self.
After experiencing my life crash down around me, I found my way to my yoga mat and began the journey of learning how to breathe and come back to safety in my own body. This opened me up to learning about and experiencing somatic-based approaches to healing. It is my privilege to now be able to support others on this journey back to safety and authentic Self.

We often feel hesitant to begin therapy because we are aware that the intensity of the pressure that has built up in our system from the accumulation of our experiences feels like it has the ability to completely knock us out if we go there. This is why we will not rip the lid off the pressure cooker, but rather find which pressure-release valves are ready to safely let some of that energy go.

My approach to therapy incorporates somatic-based and Internal Family Systems frameworks. Through a gentle, trauma-informed, non-pathological and bottom-up approach, we will explore where in your body you hold your experiences, and follow the inherent wisdom of your body to mindfully support witnessing and healing deeply stored emotions and beliefs that were taken on throughout your life.
