My specialty is Trauma therapy; however I serve diverse clients in a number of challenges ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, relational stress, low self-esteem, chronic stress or pain, and wellness concerns. I have a background in Kinesiology and holistic wellness coaching, as well as coaching individuals with cognitive dis/abilities. My clinical style is based in Social Justice Narrative practice; psychoanalysis, and psychodynamics with containment and movement exercises. My Masters was in treatment approaches to transgenerational trauma. My preference is to work weekly or twice weekly for a minimum of 6 months.
I specialize in working with patterns that developed as defenses in childhood that have become rigid and no longer adaptive. By re-evaluating narratives and memories from the past, and sinking into the experiencing of or being-with strong emotions, I help clients understand and master their inner experiences and become more effective in their environments.
It can be difficult to reach out, but my space is a safe one where I will contain and store all that you are struggling to carry so that we can dispense and process your experiences progressively at a pace that leaves you feeling more at ease and confident in your abilities after every session. Your feedback is always encouraged.

I work with individuals whose traumas have been cumulative and may have begun as early as childhood. By exploring the differences between trauma responses and our personalities, we can free ourselves of negative behavioural binds, thought traps and negative cognitions, living to only please others; and work more productively towards our desires and passions in life.

I am adaptive based on my client's needs, but typically prefer to practice on Narrative, Psychoanalytic, or Emotion-Focussed bases. I am however, also trained in ACT, Psychodynamic/IFS, Schema, and Complex Trauma Therapies, including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Wellness Strategizing and Planning. I am also competent in CBT and DBT skills.
