I invite you practice a few deep breaths as you reflect on aspects of your journey that led you to this page. Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Exhausted or drained? Perhaps seeking to to learn new coping tools or wanting to develop your self-care practices? When we bottle up emotions and feel disconnected to both ourselves and others it can be difficult to access healing, recovery, and growth. Counselling can provide a space to press pause from busyness or turmoil. Seeking a safe space to rest. reflect, and to feel restored.
My sessions are largely informed by Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP) which incorporates gentle yoga and breathwork, mindfulness, bodywork, ceremony, and somatic-based processing. Through this holistic mind-body approach, we work towards deep healing and recovery from a variety of concerns in order to relearn and reset in a meaningful way.
I am a Registered Counselling Therapy Candidate, fully certified in Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP), 200hr Yoga Teacher, and certified in Ayurvedic Nutrition. Additionally, I am a First Nations (Cree) woman with mixed European ancestry. My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-informed, and holistic.
