I offer a warm, open and practical approach to counselling, with a particular focus on trauma and its impact on our lives. With 17 years of experience working in the field of trauma, I provide a safe place to process difficult experiences, heal and create change. Together, we’ll develop greater clarity and self-understanding, build practical skills, and find ways forward. My goal is for you to feel more hopeful, empowered and confident in navigating life’s challenges.
I work with the whole person—mind, body, heart and spirit. My trauma work is primarily somatic-based and attachment-centred, recognizing that trauma can affect our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships and nervous systems. Together, we gently work toward greater regulation, connection, choice and ease.
My primary approaches include Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Self-Regulation Therapy (SRT), and EMDR Therapy. I am also familiar with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and have a personal background in the Expressive Arts. I tailor our work to your needs, goals and readiness.
